Closes #7070

Why is this the best possible solution? Were any other approaches considered?

This just updates the info based on feedback from @alyblenkin. Nothing to discuss!

@alyblenkin let me know if this looks correct now!

One question I had: we currently show the placement mode options when no input method is selected yet (before any data is entered). Should we potentially just hide the info button in this state?

Thank you!

One question I had: we currently show the placement mode options when no input method is selected yet (before any data is entered). Should we potentially just hide the info button in this state?

I think it's ok to default to placement mode for the dialog content. For someone exploring and testing, it's helpful to see the info button. They can't make a mistake by tapping either or following the instructions anyway.

Ideally we would have some way to emphasize the marker button as the first call to action. We could actually change the primary CTA to the "Add" marker button instead of "saved" when they land on the map, but maybe that's beyond scope for now.
