Migrating the discussion from #6680 and #6485:

Currently, the context menu uses `bi-play` (triangle) for "Directions from here" and `bi-stop` (square) for "Directions to here".

While these match the shapes found inside the current map markers (the green pin and red marker), standing alone in the context menu they look too much like media player controls and don't clearly convey "routing" or navigation.

We need to decide on a better path:
1.  **Find better icons:** Are there clearer Bootstrap icons that convey "Start" and "Destination" without relying on the Play/Stop shapes?
2.  **Align markers:** Or, should we look at changing the map markers themselves (e.g. to a flag or pin style) so we can use matching icons in the menu that don't look like media controls?
