Flutter Google Maps App

This is a Flutter application that integrates Google Maps using flutter_maps, BLoC, and various plugins such as Geolocator and Geocoder. The app automatically detects the user's location or allows users to manually search for a location by entering an address. The location is displayed on the map with a marker.

Features

• Map Type can be Changed: Bloc has been used to do state management while changing MapType.
• Automatic Location Detection: Uses Geolocator to detect and show the user's current location on the map.
• Manual Location Search: Allows users to enter an address manually and redirects the map to that location.
• Marker Pinning: Adds a marker (pin) to the location that is detected or searched.
• BLoC for State Management: Manages the app’s state using BLoC (Business Logic Component) for clean, maintainable code.
• Request Handler: Handles requests for fetching the location using address input.

Key Dependencies

• google_maps_flutter: Integrates Google Maps in the Flutter app.
• geolocator: Used for getting the user’s current location.
• geocoder: Used to convert addresses into coordinates.
• flutter_bloc: For state management using the BLoC pattern.

How It Works

• Automatic Location Detection: The app uses Geolocator to fetch the user’s current location, which is then displayed on the map with a marker.

• Manual Address Search: Users can manually enter an address in the search bar. The app uses Geocoder to fetch the corresponding coordinates and then updates the map to the searched location.

• Marker Pinning: After the location is detected (either automatically or through the search), a marker is added to that location to highlight it on the map.
