Functionality

A geographical coordinate picker in the node edit pane would be a helpful feature and could also support #239.

Proposed Functionality:

A new expandable Location area in the node editing pane shows a map where a marker represents the location of the currently selected node. The marker can be moved by the user to adjust the coordinate of the node. On new nodes, a geocoding suggestion based on the operation point or name is provided (#205 would further increase the probability to find an suggestion), but not yet set for the node. The coordinate is an optional property of a node.

This feature requires adding an optional coordinate field to the Node object in the data model:

"nodes": [
    {
      "id": 22,
      "betriebspunktName": "A",
      "fullName": "StopA",
      "positionX": 384,
      "positionY": 192,
      "coordinate":
       {
          "longitude": 7.5,
          "latitude": 46.5,
       },
       ...
    },
    ...
]
