[In my previous post I mentioned Pythonista](https://steemit.com/arduino/@makerhacks/udp-client-on-mobile-using-pythonista) and I don't think I have really done enough to tell people about this amazing app.

* You can get Pythonista from [their website](http://omz-software.com/pythonista) or the app store
* It's both an IDE and a 2.7/3.5 interpreter 
* If you have xcode you can even package as native apps

### App to load Google Maps with coordinates from a photograph

It's not just a cool toy, it actually comes in valuable.

For example, a lot of the time I find interesting places, and when I want to return I can't quite figure out where I was. Now with this custom app, I can extract the location and get directions from my photographs!

Pythonista makes it easy because they have a photo picker built right in, and from the selected asset you can get the location, then launch a browser with the Google Maps URL scheme.

Cool, eh? :)

```
import photos
import webbrowser

picked = photos.pick_asset()
print(dir(picked))
geo_loc = picked.location
lat = geo_loc['latitude']
long = geo_loc['longitude']
map_url = "comgooglemaps://www.google.com/maps/?q={},{}".format(lat,long)
print(map_url)
webbrowser.open(map_url, new=1, autoraise=True)
```
