When opening Google Maps from Nearby, show red pin, or at least zoom more

From Nearby, when opening the item in Google Maps, it is very hard to find because there is no red pin:

Ideally it should show a red pin like this:

... or at least zoom more, as most Wikidata items are much smaller than the map's current scale.

We must find out whether showing a red pin on an arbitrary geolocation is possible via intent. Pinning an arbitrary geolocation manually is possible:

In the far future, ideally we would show the same item in Google Maps if the Wikidata item has a P2671 "Google Knowledge Graph ID" Wikidata property:

Displaying red pin at an arbitrary location should be possible:

I can work on this
