πŸ“ Set Coordinates

This button allows you to define your area by specifying the coordinates of two opposite corners of a rectangle. Think of it as the bottom-left and upper-right corners of your phone's display when viewing the Gig Worker app Scheduled Rides dialog. The πŸ“ Schedule Area Coordinates dialog includes an animated GIF that demonstrates how the rectangular area is constructed from these two opposite corners.
