The `google_maps` platform allows you to detect presence using the unofficial API of [Google Maps Location Sharing](https://myaccount.google.com/locationsharing).

You first need to create an additional Google account, and share your location with that account. This platform will use that account to fetch the location of your device(s). You have to setup sharing trough the Google Maps app on your mobile phone. You can find more information [here](https://support.google.com/accounts?p=location_sharing).

Typo. "trough" is probably supposed to be "through".

Did some small updates myself.

This one can be merged in as soon as the build passes since the parent PR has been merged already.
