Setup

For this widget is a free API-Key from mapquest.com required. Sign up on https://developer.mapquest.com to get your personal API-Key. Add your API-Key to your Widget parameters and that's it.

It is recommended to select the option "Run Script" in the widget settings under "When Interacting". This will display a larger map view of the small widget when you click on the widget.

Use Google Maps instead of Apple Maps

By default Apple Maps is used for navigation. If you want to use Google Maps you need to write ;google in the widget parameter behind the API key.

X-Callback-URL

It is possible to update the Location via a X-Callback-URL: scriptable:///run?scriptName=car-location&option=updateLocation&skipDialogs=true

This can be used to update the Location in a Shortcut for example or you write the URL to a NFC-Tag in your Car.

If you use the X-Callback function in shortcut, you will navigated back to shortcuts after the update process which will be performed in Scriptable.

Notice

Due to limitations in iOS 14, it is not possible to tap on individual elements in the small widget to perform a specific action. For this reason, no icons are displayed in the small widget at the top right. But if you have selected the option "Run Script" in the widget settings under "When Interacting", the widget opens in the scriptable app as a large widget with icons and you can tap on the desired icon to perform the desired action.
