Maps provide the main spatial surface for understanding places. They show location context, markers, bounds, search results, and spatial relationships that are difficult to understand from forms alone.

• Display place markers and location context.
• Fit bounds and zoom around selected places or search results.
• Coordinate provider-specific map behavior through interop wrappers.
• Support Finder and Explore workflows without embedding provider logic directly in components.

Map components should depend on state and provider abstractions rather than reaching directly into provider JavaScript. This keeps map behavior testable and makes it easier to add or replace providers over time.
