Notes: 

 

• Hirers location is only shown for rides and not for other request categories (babysitting, dog walking, etc.).

• If you designate the pickup party to another user, The map framing remains the same but the map locations get handed off to the 3rd party.

• Each step has a different level of updating in terms of how far needed to move between location updates
