A Flutter plugin providing a unified Dart API for accessing device GPS location across Android, iOS, macOS, Web, Windows, and Linux. It supports one-time fixes, real-time location streams, background tracking on mobile, permission handling, and tunable accuracy/battery settings.

Use cases

  • get current gps coordinates in a flutter app
  • stream realtime location updates while user moves
  • track location in background on android and ios
  • handle location permissions cross-platform
  • build a running or fitness tracking app with flutter
  • show user position on a map in flutter
  • balance location accuracy vs battery usage

When to choose

  • you need one consistent location API across all six Flutter targets
  • you need background location updates on Android or iOS
  • you want fine control over accuracy, interval, and distance filters
  • you need a mature, widely used Flutter location plugin

When to avoid

  • you need background location on desktop or web (unsupported)
  • you are building a native app without Flutter
  • you need geofencing or advanced map features beyond raw location data
