MSC3488 allows sending m.location messages which contain a geo: URL that the :open command should open. (:open could try converting them to an OpenStreetMap URL and opening it that way, but at least on my laptop, it looks like xdg-open will already take care of converting geo: URLs to Google Maps and opening them in a browser.)
