Describe the issue
Please write a clear and concise description of the issue here.

When I choose "Share my location", the message proposed by OM contains a om: URL and a https://omaps.org URL, both of which are proprietary URLs intimately linked to Organic Maps. There appears to be no way to configure OM to use a geo: URL instead, which works with any maps software.

Steps to reproduce

Go to ≡
Click on Share my location
Notice that there is no provider-neutral URL.

Expected behaviour

OM should share my location as a geo: URL, as defined in RFC 5870. It should also refrain from including promotional messages ("Don't have? Download here!")
