A PHP 7.3+ geo-related library built atop Geocoder and React, providing batch geocoding, coordinate conversion, distance/bearing computation, geohash encoding, and polygon point-in-polygon checks. It also ships a CLI for distance, point, geohash, and conversion operations.

Use cases

• batch geocode addresses in parallel with PHP
• compute distance between two GPS coordinates
• convert decimal degrees to DMS or UTM
• encode and decode geohash strings
• check if a point is inside a polygon
• find the midpoint between two coordinates
• cache geocoder results with PSR-6

When to choose

• you need geospatial math (distance, bearing, geohash, UTM) in a PHP project
• you want batch or cached geocoding across multiple providers
• you need a CLI for quick coordinate conversions and distance calculations

When to avoid

• you need a full GIS engine like PostGIS or spatial SQL queries
• your project is not PHP-based
• you need map rendering or tile serving rather than coordinate computation
