Fast Google Encoded Polyline encoding & decoding in Rust with Python bindings. Library with out-of-the-box support for both (lat, lon) and (lon, lat) coordinates.
Encoded Polyline Algorithm Format
Pre-built binary wheels are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with support for both x64 and ARM architectures.
