Getting lat/lon instead of address

Hi!

I have a rooted galaxy s4 with automagic premium.

I have written a flow, that upon phone shake, turns on gps and wifi and inits variable location, then performs a notification with the location.

It all works with one exception: The notification, which has a message of "I'm at {location,locationformat}" reports:

I'm at 47.65816,-117.43919

How do I get an address instead of gps lat/lon?

I just know how show your location on Google Maps:
Start activity
Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
Data URI: geo:XX. XX, XX. XX
I hope i helped a little.
P. S. sorry for my English

That's good to know, though not quite the answer to my question.

I intend to replace shake to notify with sms in order to locate my phone when it's lost. Showing a google map on my phone won't help me find my phone after I've lost it. =)

Hi,

The variable {location,locationformat} should be replaced with the address when the Google service knows an address for this location and when a network connection is possible. Is this the case for all locations on your device or only on occasion?
Alternatively you could send a working link for Google Maps to your desktop:
https://www.google.com/maps?q={location}

Regards,
Martin
