You can use jq's string interpolation feature to simplify this:

    $ curl -s https://wifi.delta.com/api/flight-data | jq -r '"https://maps.google.com/?q=\(.latitude),\(.longitude)"'

Thanks! I was trying to figure this out but I didn't have great Internet access (for some reason...) so I just hacked it instead.

In powershell

    Invoke-WebRequest https://wifi.delta.com/api/flight-data | ConvertFrom-Json | %{ "https://maps.google.com/?q=$($_.latitude),$($_.longitude)"
