Herro; made a car drive log shortcut to keep track of ridden distances for different clients!
2 options to get the location address (and distance from Current Location):
- I scrape today’s calendar and select the one I’m driving to
- Manually enter an address (as not every drive is planned in my agenda)
The problem is with 2): I have difficulties converting the written ‘street [optional number] city‘ (or I don’t even know the street name, only the point of interest’s name) to the correct address:
- sometimes the shortcut will take a same name street in the wrong city, resulting in faulty distance
- sometimes, as I don’t know the street name by heart (e.g. “McDonald’s [town]”), It won’t find anything
- (in both situations, it’s not properly adding the postcode)
Is there any way to:
- get a list of possible addresses to choose from (like you would in Waze or Google Maps)
or
- confirm the location on a map before saving and calculating distance?
It’s not the cleanest code (yet), but want to get the main issue fixed first before cleaning up: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/dbf2e88b58214152b0d9421e8e8d369a
Cheerio!
