Location Services & Maps Integration 🌍

Location is sensitive data. Apps must gracefully handle denial of permissions and battery-friendly location polling.

⚡ When to Use

• When drawing maps, plotting markers, or grabbing user coordinates.

🏗️ Core Rules / Pillars

1. Fused Location Provider

• Pattern: Directly calling LocationManager is an outdated anti-pattern.
• Implementation: ALWAYS use FusedLocationProviderClient from Google Play Services, which intelligently coalesces GPS, Wi-Fi, and Cell signals to save battery.
