Research direction

Start by locating the phone app's repeater contacts and map location handling, then trace how repeater coordinates are received and displayed. The issue asks for manual longitude and latitude entry sent to the MeshCore map; check how existing location updates reach the map and identify the app screens and tests involved. Done means a user can enter the remote repeater's coordinates in the app and see its location on the map.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have a remote repeater (Seeed XAIO WIO S3) which refuses to advert its location.
Logging on remotely and using the CLI interface I can read the correct long and lat from the repeater. Clock is correct and it's working 100% otherwise.
Can we add some code to manually enter the location in the phone App and send it to the meshcore map.
Even if the fields can be populated from Get lon and Get lat CLI interface. The repeater is a 5 hour hike up a steep mountain so not easy to access.
Being a Seeed with no GPS the CLI GPS commands have been stripped from the firmware.
Thank you for your great work.
