Send Toolbox Pro’s full location suite details and a map view of your current location via Messages.

Send Coordinates with Map View Shortcut

Requirements

Toolbox Pro

This shortcut - which I originally created mostly as it is currently several years ago - was designed to comprehensively automate the process of sending detailed information about one's current location to a single contact. Even at the time, it was actually a bit redundant, considering all of the applications and services available on iOS/iPadOS devices with which one can accomplish virtually the same thing.

It uses Toolbox Pro's View Map action to capture a PNG-formatted image of an overhead map view of your current location to send to a contact in iMessage.

Setup Steps

Choose a contact to which to send location information. (Required)
Choose a preferred precision level of location information (the more accurate, the longer the action will take to run.) (Optional)
