I think for starters we should just not display any coordinates with globes
on Earth map and not enable maps if there are only such coordinates. In the
future, once we figure out how to do it, maps of the Moon etc. (a-la Geohack?)
would be extremely cool, of course

@Smalyshev: Agreed, that's what I meant by my first line. :) Should I make a
new ticket for displaying maps of other globes?
@Jonas: For supporting multiple maps, the most obvious option to me would be:
When there are non-earth coordinates in the results, change "M

@Jonas It seems to me like a query by coordinate should always filter by the
reference globe. That's currently not possible using the simply "truthy"
statement mapping, though.

Maps of the Moon would be very cool, but I guess it is not that simple. What
if the query result for example contains earth and moon coordinates?

Displaying non-Earth maps would be very interesting (and cool) but for
starters I think the map display shouldn't fail at least on non-Earth entities.
Then we could proceed to thinking about integrating non-earth maps like Geohack
does, maybe.

The UI will of course need to handle globes it doesn't understand so the
following is possibly going off on a tangent a bit, but I wanted to share it
anyway in case it's useful to anyone. :)
GeoHack can show maps of the moon (e.g.
