Description

**Home Assistant Android app version(s):**
2025.11.4-full

**Android version(s):**
16

**Device model(s):**
Google Pixel Pro 7

**Home Assistant version:**
2025.11.3

**Description of problem, include YAML if issue is related to notifications:**
It's not possible to add `person.john` or `device_tracker.telephone_john` to Android Auto favorites if the entity does not have coordinates (Background location / Location Sent: **Zone only**").

I want to see if persons are in specific zone or away in the Favorites view, even when they don't share their exact location.
