Bug description

On a phone that doesn't have Google Services, I can't share my location. When I press the "Position" button the flap goes down without an error message.

Steps to reproduce

• Open any conversation
• Try to share your position
• You can't !

Actual result: The application does not generate a message
Expected result: The application should generate a message with a Google Maps showing my location.

Screenshots

No screenshots because no error message appears.

Device info

Device: Xiaomi Mi Note 2
Android version: 8.1.0
Signal version: 4.20.4

It can make use of other maps....

Yes, please make it to use Osmand or Mapsme. Or just generally only use the coordinates. Or why not OpenStreetMap.org?
