Issues with matching width and height


I am trying to build this layout

enter image description here

But I am getting this: (The map button in the location would be ideal height and width but the textview doesn't match the height)

enter image description here

My location is a TextView and my destination is a EditText

I want the TextView and EditText to be the same width while the MAP buttons stay "square".

How can I get the textviews height to match and make a square map button?

Here is my layout

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
                android:id="@+id/fragment_details"
