Description
### Your use case
#### What would you like to do?
When folks share location with me, I want to view it in something like Google Maps or Apple Maps so I can do stuff like search for nearby locations, ask directions for how to get to the location, etc. Instead, I have no way to actually access the location data itself short of View Source on the event(!).
As a first cut, exposing the geo URI would be better than nothing - or providing some "open in..." links on the expanded map viewer.
