⚙️ How It Works

1. Current Location Access Uses the geolocator package to handle permissions and fetch the user’s current latitude and longitude.

2. Nearby Places Query Fetches data from OpenStreetMap Overpass API through a PlaceService. Places are filtered by amenity type (e.g., hospital, mosque, hotel).

3. Distance Calculation Each place is sorted based on proximity to the user using:

   Geolocator.distanceBetween(
     userLatitude,
     userLongitude,
     placeLatitude,
     placeLongitude,
   )
