Documentation is still a work in progress. Sorry for the mess.

###Google Geocoding API We are using Google's Geocoding API for reverse address lookup. This API comes with the following limits:

  • 2,500 free requests per day
  • 10 requests per second

Additional information can be found: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/usage-limits

###CoreLocation CoreLocation requires a wireless adapter to obtain lookup information. On older Macs that did not ship with a wireless adapter this script will exit without enabling Location Services or authorizing Python for lookups. If your Mac has the wireless card disabled there is a chance that this script will still obtain a location based off of CoreLocation's cached data. Your Mac does not need to be connected to an active SSID for location data to be found just enabled.

Of interest:

Your approximate location is determined using information from local Wi-Fi networks, and is collected by Location Services in a manner that doesn’t personally identify you.
