Description

Clearing start or beginning values from directions examples removes geometries from the map but doesn't clear the directions sidebar. This leaves user is a weird state where they can interact with the sidebar, see a marker on the map hover, but without a visible route.

This feels wrong. I would clear the sidebar when one of the values gets cleared.

Research direction

Start by locating the directions examples and the code that handles clearing start or beginning values. Reproduce the issue by clearing one value and observe the map and directions sidebar. Done means clearing either value also clears the sidebar and leaves no stale route interaction.
