Introduction

pinpoint stores its configuration info in the com.clburlison.pinpoint preferences domain, /Library/Preferences/com.clburlison.pinpoint.plist, however configuration profiles are also supported.

Supported Keys

Key Type Default Description
AddressLookup boolean True With this enabled pinpoint will do a reverse geolocation lookup to get an estimated address from for your mac. For additional privacy this can be disabled. Removed in v1.0.
AddressLookupService string apple This allows you to choose which reverse lookup service you wish to use. Supported values: apple, google, or none.
CacheDir string /Library/Application Support/pinpoint The directory that pinpoint uses to store output data
CheckWaitTime integer 1800 The time in seconds, before another lookup will take place. The LaunchDaemon will run every 10 minutes, as such with the default of 1800 it will wait ~30 minutes before another lookup takes place.

EnableWireless boolean False With this enabled pinpoint will enable airport adapters if they are turned off prior to a lookup. pinpoint will leave the adapter turned on at the end of the run.
