Where am I
An iOS shortcut that shows the location strip — intersection, road, mile marker — without opening the map. Action Button, Back Tap, or a home-screen icon.
The radio wants a location, not an app. Where am I is an iOS shortcut that puts the same top info box on screen without opening the map.
It is in beta. iPhone only.
Set it up
Add Where am I in the Shortcuts app first. Map Settings → Where am I → Open Shortcuts.
Then assign it where your hands already are:
- Action Button — Settings → Action Button → Shortcut → Where am I
- Back Tap — Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap → Where am I
- Home-screen icon — from Shortcuts, add the shortcut to the Home Screen
What you get
The card is the location strip: named intersection, current road, last-known road when you are on something unnamed, mile marker when we have one.
Speak location (off by default) reads that radio line aloud. Off shows the card only.
It does not open the map. That is the difference from launching PatrolNav.
Siri and the lock screen
If you use Siri, say the full phrase. “Where am I” by itself opens Apple Maps.
- Where am I in PatrolNav
- Current location in PatrolNav
- PatrolNav location
Lock-screen use needs Always location. The Phn / Net internet fallback is the same switch as Apple Watch, under Map Settings.
