Some termux scripts for use with the GPS functionality of your smartphone. You have to have installed the termux:API package and also the curl,jq linux packages. The scripts are using the termux-dialog utility, to display some nice Android-ish menus, for easy of use.
If you use termux:widget, then you have a quick and nice way to execute these scripts and get GPS data, easy, fast and without Google «interfering» 😉
The first script is getting the weather from the wttr.in site. It gets your location from your data/internet connection (you can change that) and displays a forecast.
#!/bin/bash loc=$(termux-location -p network -r last) && curl wttr.in/$(echo $loc | jq .latitude),$(echo $loc | jq .longitude) #wait until keypress read -t 3 -n 1
The second one, is for getting and storing your location into a CSV file. This way you can have a kind of POI file. I use it when i want to save a location very quick.
#!/bin/bash
function get_location {
r="$(termux-dialog sheet -v 'Internet,GPS,Exit')"
code=$(echo $r | jq '.code')
ans=$(echo $r | jq '.index')
if [[ $code -eq 0 ]]
then
case $ans in
0) loc=$(termux-location -p network -r last)
echo "$(echo $loc | jq .latitude);$(echo $loc | jq .longitude);$(echo $loc | jq .accuracy)"
;;
1) loc=$(termux-location)
echo "$(echo $loc | jq .latitude);$(echo $loc | jq .longitude);$(echo $loc | jq .accuracy)"
;;
2) echo "-1"
;;
esac
fi
}
coords="$(get_location)"
if [[ $coords != "-1" ]]; then
r="$(termux-dialog text -t 'Enter Description for position' -i $coords)"
code=$(echo $r | jq '.code')
ans=$(echo $r | jq '.text')
if [[ $code -eq -1 ]]
then
echo "$coords,$ans" >> "$(date +%F).poi"
fi
fi
Finally the last one, is a Python3 script, which lists all *.poi files, made with the previous script and allowing you to select a stored location and copy the coordinates to the clipboard. This way you can retrieve a location from the .poi files and paste the coordinates to any application in your smartphone (Maps, Browser, SMS etc.).
#!/usr/bin/python
import os,sys,csv
import subprocess
import json
def getfile():
files = [f for f in os.listdir('.') if os.path.isfile(f)]
s = ''
for f in files:
if '.poi' in f:
s += ','+f
s = s[1:]
#print(s)
result = subprocess.run(['termux-dialog','sheet','-t "hello"','-v '+s], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
s = result.stdout.decode('utf-8')
r = json.loads(s)
#print(r['code'])
if r['code'] == 0:
return r['text']
else:
return "-1"
fn = getfile()
if fn != "-1":
f = open(fn, 'r')
ss =''
with f:
reader = csv.reader(f, delimiter=",")
results=[]
for row in reader:
ss += ","+row[3]+' ['+row[0]+' : '+row[1]+']'
results.append([row[3],row[0],row[1]])
ss=ss[1:]
#print('"'+ss+'"')
result = subprocess.run(['termux-dialog','sheet','-t "Locations"','-v '+ss], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
s = result.stdout.decode('utf-8')
r = json.loads(s)
#print(r['code'])
if r['code'] == 0:
#print (r['text'])
#print (r['index'])
os.system('termux-clipboard-set '+results[r['index']][1]+','+results[r['index']][2])
