Note: I have incorporated this into my own fork at https://github.com/pbernicchi/locationchanger if you wish to transfer this repo to me, given the inactivity or I can make my forked repo standalone. With gratitude, of course, since I have been using this script for YEARS and I recall you doing us a solid by updating it about 5 years ago.
