Feature request: clicking in nodes gps coordinates should open in the included meshtastic map, not in external app.

When i click on the gps coordinates in the nodes list, the phone asks me to open google maps (or in other app that can handle coordinates). I think it should open in the meshastic app.

the meshtastic app is just a viewer and will show the node anyway. Routing this via intent allows you to navigate to the target or feed them to other apps.

It opens in google maps for me - there is no option to open it in another app, or to copy it to paste it somewhere. White it centers on the location, it does not pin it (so it's not really made for you to navigate to it) and it's not placed in the search bar of google maps to allow it to be copied out or navigated-to either. There is no easy way to navigate to it at all. You'd need to open the map app by clicking it, then click on the map somewhere in the middle and navigate to that manually selected point. That doesn't make it feel like it was made for that purpose.
