Please add support for Geocoding and Time Zones APIs
Can you please add support for the Geocoding and Time Zones APIs to flutter_google_places_sdk?
Google Places APIs frequently need to be used with forward or reverse geocoding, and timezone lookup. It would be great to have support for these APIs in flutter_google_places_sdk, since it's the only library providing native support for the Places APIs. Right now I have to use an Android or iOS key to use flutter_google_places_sdk, and a separate Web API key to access the other APIs.
@lukehutch I was looking into the geocoding client, but it seems there's no native client in Android, or at least I could not find one. Hence adding support for it wouldn't be much help.
Unless I missed it and you are aware of one?

Will this one work ?
@pndychrg For a geocoding library in general yes, but then it's not related to this library. This library is about using the google places apis - and the geocoder you mentioned isn't part of it; there's no reason to couple them.
Umm, what I implemented in one of my project is I fetched the gps location using this library and made a http call to the geocoding api as I was unable to find any library for flutter which had native implementation of geocoding api
@pndychrg you should try this: https://pub.dev/packages/geocoding - I've used it in another project of mine. But again, it's not related to this project & plugin.
