⚙️ How It Works

1. Get Current Location
   Uses geolocator to request permission and fetch the user's latitude & longitude.

2. Fetch Nearby Places
   Calls OpenStreetMap (Overpass API) via a PlaceService to search for nearby places based on amenity type (e.g., hospital, mosque, hotel).

3. Distance Calculation
   Each place's distance from the user is calculated using:

   Geolocator.distanceBetween(...)
   
    Sorting & Filtering
   
        Select a category (Hospital, Mosque, Hotel etc.) via dropdown
   
        Or search any nearby place by name
   
        Results sorted by nearest distance
   
    Display Results
   
        A ListView shows the places with name, type, and distance
   
        On tap → opens a Map screen (powered by flutter_map
   
        ) where the user’s location and selected place are displayed
