Overview
A Dart package providing essential math utilities for Google Maps integration, including SphericalUtils for geospatial calculations like distance and bearing, MathUtils for basic mathematical operations, and PolyUtils for polygon and polyline manipulations. Designed to simplify complex geographic computations required in mapping applications, it supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. The package is lightweight and focused on accuracy for location-based services.
