Chat commands: !location, !speed, !eta
Half of IRL chat is people asking where you are. Let a bot answer.
irlmap.live gives you a set of links that reply with one short line of text. Any chat bot that can fetch a URL can use them, so it works with Nightbot, StreamElements, Fossabot or a bot you wrote yourself.
The commands
| Command | Example reply |
|---|---|
!location | Currently around Vesterbro, Copenhagen, Denmark |
!speed | Speed: 24 km/h |
!distance | Distance this stream: 12.4 km |

Add ?u=imperial to a link for mph, miles and °F.
!location is vague on purpose
It names the neighbourhood and the city, never a street or an address. It also uses the same stream delay as your overlays, says “hidden” inside your dead zones or when you’ve paused, and says you’re not live when you’re not. Chat gets an answer, and you don’t give away more than you’d say yourself.
Setting it up
Once you’re logged in, there are ready-to-paste lines under Settings → Chat commands. In Nightbot, for example:
!addcom !location $(urlfetch https://irlmap.live/c/your-chat-key/location)The chat command guide has the StreamElements and Fossabot versions too.
Try it on your next stream
Free, and it takes about five minutes to set up.
