/* Assuming in an async function */
/// query the current location.
LatLongPosition position = await TrustLocation.getLatLong;

Using Stream.
// input seconds into parameter for getting location with repeating by timer.
// this example set to 5 seconds.
TrustLocation.start(5);
/// the stream getter where others can listen to.
TrustLocation.onChange.listen((values) =>
print('${values.latitude} ${values.longitude} ${values.isMockLocation}')
