Bug description

Searching for directions in the maps app, there is no nmessage indicating that routing is disabled when logged as a user.

When logged as an admin, there is the message "Routing is currently disabled."

Furthermore, searching for adresses is hit and miss: selecting "my location" does nothing, searching for a first adress (when using "Find directions") works, but its impossible to select a second adress: clicking on the suggestions does nothing.

I think a better solution would be to hide that form altogheter when Routing is disabled, and disaplaying a clear message wether as admin or user.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Go to the maps app
    2.Click on the find directions icon
    3.Try to selecta a starting point and a destination
Expected behavior

Suggestions of destinations are always clickable, and a message indicating that routing is not available should be displayed when logged as a user.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Find directions flow in the Maps app as both a regular user and an admin, checking routing-disabled messaging and whether location suggestions can be selected. Done means users receive a clear routing-unavailable message and destination suggestions, including the second address, behave as expected.
