The same test job drawn three ways, newest at the top. Every map below is the live code, not a photograph, so turn your phone or stretch the window and it moves as it will on a real job tile.
New — the clean map

No map underneath at all. The road is drawn on HAF's own paper, each end is named, and the mileage and drive time are said in words along the bottom. At this size a street map is texture, not information — nobody reads a street name on a picture this tall — so the whole tile goes on the three things a driver actually takes off it: the shape of the drive, which end is which, and how long it takes.
The simple map

What changed. A quiet basemap, so the two ends are the loudest thing on it. The orange line is the road the van actually drives, not a straight line between two dots. Each end gets its name, and the delivery end carries the drive time.

The same job, as it is drawn now. Full street map, and a dashed straight line between the pins. On this job that line is 26 miles when the road is 33, and every driver reading it knows the difference.
On the exchange, before it is taken

Areas only — the exact addresses come through when you take the job. The dark pin is where you said you are today.
The privacy rule holds in all three. A job nobody has taken still shows the area and not the doorstep: soft circles round each end, the road drawn softer underneath, and the drive time still honest. On the clean map those circles are finally big enough to see — on a street map a true-to-scale area is three pixels wide, so the promise was being carried by the sentence rather than the picture.

A longer run. The line follows the motorway, so what a driver sees on the tile is the shape of their actual day.
