## What it is
INTULocationManager is an Objective-C library (Swift-compatible) that simplifies getting the device's current location and heading on iOS. It wraps CLLocationManager with a block-based asynchronous API, managing permissions, accuracy, timeouts, and power efficiency automatically.

## Use cases
- get the user's current location once on iOS
- request a single location update with a desired accuracy and timeout
- continuously track device location changes
- monitor device heading/compass direction
- monitor significant location changes
- autofill an address field from the user's current location

## When to choose
- you need a simple one-shot current-location request on iOS without delegate boilerplate
- you want automatic handling of permissions, stale locations, and errors
- battery life matters and you want location services powered down when idle
- your app mixes Objective-C and Swift

## When to avoid
- you need turn-by-turn navigation-style continuous high-frequency tracking with fine control
- you're building for Android or cross-platform
- you need a maintained library - the last release was 2021 and updates are infrequent
- you prefer Swift-native wrappers or Combine/async-await APIs
