we should be able to show a map on the device details page, theres sort of a few different ways to do this, my first thought was a worldmap, showing a pin on the map where the device is geolocated. This would require postgis probably, to do more interesting things, and it is not clear how much value this really has, Not all network operators have geo location data for their devices, and even if they did, again, it might not be accurate or it might not provide a lot of value for some, and it may add more for others.

Another option is to just draw a network map showing the devices relationship to other entities, and the final option is to show a hybrid of the two, overlay a network map on a worldmap, maybe mapbox or something with a nice darkmode, but again it depends on having very accurate geo data and it may not provide a lot of value. Network operators with visibility into BGP we could maybe make more accurate guesses based on AS network information which might help fill in and let us approximate the position and placement on the map.

I think it might be easy enough to do all of the above here and just use default maps or something like that, I believe HP openview sort of used to work like this.
