@sjsyrek must be a difference in the output for you. I just did a quick regex with sed based on the only address I was working with. I'll try and test with some other output.
@CameronBangs I haven't tried it, but it can't be too tough to fix. CoreLocation still exists and it's not a complex program. Maybe @lindes will have a chance to take a look before the release…

@ttscoff get-location seems to not work on Yosemite. Not expecting compatibility at this point, and it's not even a tool you wrote, but any suggestions? Seems like a fun script.
