Overview
Geobase is a comprehensive Dart package for handling geospatial data, including geometry operations, geodesy calculations, map projections, tiling schemes, and support for vector formats like GeoJSON, WKT, and WKB. Designed for cross-platform use, it enables precise spatial computations and data manipulation across Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Ideal for developers building mapping applications, navigation tools, or location-based services requiring robust geospatial functionality.
