## Comparison

The implementation preserves the selected direction: a public landmark field, three clearly separated privacy modes, a large interactive map, radius choices for an approximate area, privacy guidance, and an optional manual-coordinate fallback. It adapts the reference into the existing Who Need Help visual system and request form rather than reproducing it as a disconnected screen.

The local end-to-end environment intentionally uses a deterministic solid raster tile. Map controls, marker/circle geometry, dragging, clicking, geolocation handling, and responsive layout are still exercised; the application continues to obtain its real raster tile URL from runtime configuration.

## Findings

- P0: none.
- P1: none.
- P2: none.
- P3: the mobile screenshot shows only the location section because the full request form is vertically scrollable; no horizontal overflow was observed.

## Interaction checks

- Approximate mode stores and displays a bounded `500 m`, `1 km`, or `2 km` public area.
- Browser geolocation is privacy-snapped before it reaches the form in approximate mode.
- Exact mode displays a draggable marker and makes the public disclosure explicit.
- No-map mode clears coordinates and hides the map.
- A participant can later share live location privately after matching, independently of the public request location.
- The manual coordinate fallback remains open while both values are entered.

## Result

Passed. No P0–P2 design discrepancy remains in the checked desktop and mobile states.
