This worked for me on 1.3.0-beta (and a quick glance at the source for 1.1.2 suggests it would work there too):

App.__container__.lookup('router:main').location.lastSetURL

Note that the documentation states:

At present, it relies on a hashchange event existing in the browser.

However, I believe it's strongly suggested that App.__container__ not be used in production code. A more acceptable alternative would be to use App.Router.router.currentHandlerInfos, which provides information on the current Ember route.

Yet another option is currentRouteName on the ApplicationController. You can add needs: ['application'] to your controller, then access the route name with controllers.application.currentRouteName. This will return something like posts.index.
