I have a two locations set up on my macBook. One for normal use and another for when I use a proxy, which I start from the command line. It would be very useful for me to be able to switch network location from the command line at the same time. Is this possible?

I was about to ask this question, when I see it was already asked. This is my exact same situation. My name is also Joe. Are you future-me come back to help now-me?– JShoeSep 16, 2013 at 23:56

@JShoe I can't tell you that. But you should definately avoid anyone with a tatoo of a goldfish.– JoeSep 20, 2013 at 9:50

Yep, pretty easy too. You may need to 'sudo' the command depending on your system's configuration.
networksetup -switchtolocation "location name"
There are some other options, too:
networksetup -getcurrentlocation
networksetup -listlocations
networksetup -createlocation <location name> [populate]
networksetup -deletelocation <location name>
networksetup -switchtolocation <location name>
