Description
According to [ABC's first quarter status report](https://abc.xyz/assets/34/fa/ee06f3de4338b99acffc5c229d9f/2025q1-alphabet-earnings-release.pdf):
> Google Cloud revenues increased 28% to $12.3 billion, led by growth in Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
across core GCP products, AI Infrastructure, and Generative AI Solutions.
Unfortunately, Gemini cannot accurately fart out a lat-lng for an address or give me directions.
Maybe the Google Maps API team should be given some resources to maintain an SDK for one of its most popular APIs in one of the most popular languages, before developers are forced to move to other services?
Alternatively: archive this repo and be clear that it is unsupported and developers should look into `httpx` with the REST API instead.
