## What it is
A Flutter geolocation plugin providing access to device location services across Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows via a federated plugin architecture. It exposes a unified Dart API for requesting permissions and retrieving position updates.

## Use cases
- get the device's current GPS location in a Flutter app
- request location permissions on Android and iOS
- stream continuous position updates while navigating
- calculate distance between two coordinates
- check if location services are enabled
- build a cross-platform app that needs geolocation

## When to choose
- you are building a Flutter app that needs device location on mobile or desktop platforms
- you want a single maintained plugin with per-platform implementations
- you need permission handling and position streams with one API

## When to avoid
- your project is native Android or iOS without Flutter
- you need background location tracking with advanced geofencing features
- you need offline map rendering or routing rather than raw positioning

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: geospatial, mobile-framework, sdk
- domain: mobile-development, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: flutter-plugin, geolocation, location-services, federated-plugin, dart, gps, maps, android, ios, mobile, flutter
