Description
Hi
I'm really sorry for asking such a noob question, but is this library the correct one to estimate:
- If a route is within distance of a point (I have a bunch of routes)
- If two routes intersect each other
- Get all intersecting routes for a given route (this may be pre-calculated)
- Points of intersection (there may be many! or inifnite if routes go together)
I plan to use this on Android /offline

Research direction
Start by reviewing Spatial4j's documented geometry and distance APIs against the requested route proximity, intersection, and intersection-point operations. Clarify whether Android/offline use and precomputed route relationships are supported, then define a concrete feature scope and acceptance criteria before identifying implementation files or tests.
