Add a button (e.g. to the right of the page title overlaying the lead image) that launches the default Maps app with the target coordinates of the current article.
Design
Include pin icon and "Open in maps"
Directly below lead image/title. If similar pages + page issues present, map comes first.

[continuing the discussion from T114524]
How will it actually appear when the article has a map location, as well as a spoken version and disambiguation links and issues (i.e. will it overflow onto two lines)? I'm kind of worried that we'd be pushing the lead section down more (thus exposing less of the article text), when we've worked so hard to make sure that the text is at the very top. Would it be possible to use more of the lead image real estate to contain these buttons?
@Dbrant
Good point, I agree that we don't want to push the lead section below a lot of secondary information/links.
But we do have to balance so that there isn't to much clutter on lead image, especially when lead images aren't ideal like this really busy one:
This is an alternative where all 4 (maps, audio, page issues, disambig) are icons instead of text. But I think maps will get less engagement with just an icon, and its hard to understand what they all mean. Though it will be rare that an article will have all 4.
@Dbrant
Also - this might not be popular, but I think page issues and disambiguation links in the article are not very useful or used.
In some user testing Vibha and I did awhile ago, when we showed users the slightly wrong page and asked them to go to a similar page, all immediately went to search. Wikidata descriptions in search helped a lot.
What do you think about moving page issues and similar pages somewhere else?
This area could then be exclusively used for maps and listen to article!
@KHammerstein, here's what this will look like:

Checked with 2.1.136-alpha-2015-12-15 on Nexus 5 (Android 5.1.1)
The icon is displayed and can be clicked. Clicking on the icon takes a user to the Google maps service.
