Older versions of the app allowed users to navigate to articles via a dedicated button in the article toolbar. The app should still expose this information in the page activity. Should it be in the new page action bottom toolbar, or the overflow menu, or somewhere else?

@Nirzar The "pushpin" button that used to live in the lead-image toolbar (that takes the user to the Map location of the article) seems to have gone away. Should we re-introduce it in the bottom toolbar? (or in the overflow menu, etc.)?
There's a lot of stuff competing for the bottom article toolbar. It's completely full on my LG phone so I regrettably recommend this action move to the top overflow menu or somewhere besides the bottom toolbar.
@Fjalapeno We've added a link to view articles with locations on the Places tab at the bottom of the article in the 'About this article' section.
@Mhurd is working on this related ticket right now: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147728 which should make it easy for Android to also include this link to the Places/nearby tab.

And fwiw, coordinates are currently already shown inside quick boxes in both apps and web, which takes users to Geohack on wmflabs, where users can choose whichever map service they wish to locate the article.
We can look at updating coord links in here in apps to open directly in OS maps service as an option.
The About this article footer now has "View on a map" as a menu option for articles with geo coordinates.
