Flutterlocation: Get heading/direction

[LinusU]

Would it be possible to add a "heading", or "direction", key to the supplied location object, that tells the direction that the device is currently rotated in. This is very useful when building an app that shows a compass to navigate the user to a specific place.

This value can be read on iOS using the trueHeading (or, failing that, the magneticHeading) from the CLHeading object.

On Android this can be read using the SensorManager.getOrientation function.

Look at this project for some actual code: https://github.com/hemanthrajv/flutter_compass
