The selected address is then displayed on a map for visual confirmation. It also compares the entered location with the user's actual device location. The workflow involves launching an autocomplete intent, retrieving a `Place` object, extracting components, populating forms, and updating the map with a marker. It also requests permissions to access device location.\n"]]
