Description

## Improvement idea

Current peers screen does not show the location of MY node:

If we show it on the map, then we could also show the net of connections – perhaps even indicate which connections were used for data transfer, or at least show the direction (which side initiated connection).

## Inspiration

https://radar.cloudflare.com has a nice visualization where connections are indicated on the map:

cc @juliaxbow – not a priority, but could be cool to play with different ideas for visualization in spare time :-)
