Description
Would love to see the ability to request a user's location using `mapboxgl.GeolocateControl` to somehow overlay a user's location onto both comparison maps. Ideally a single location call to display the user's blue dot onto both maps, synchronized.
New to git & Mapbox so forgive me if I'm going about this all wrong.

Research direction
Start by reading the mapboxgl.GeolocateControl documentation and the repository's comparison-map entry points. Determine how one location request could be shared by both maps, then verify that both maps display synchronized user-location indicators when geolocation is enabled.
