Feature: Per-node "Hide from Map" toggle #3549

Feature Request: "Hide from Map" per-node toggle

Problem

Nodes with spoofed or unreliable GPS positions (e.g. received only via RF from a distant mesh) can clutter the map with markers at absurd locations. Currently the only options are:

  • Ignore flag — hides the node from most views entirely (too aggressive)
  • Position override — useful if you know the real location, but a workaround not a solution

Proposed Solution

Add a "Hide from Map" toggle in the node detail/edit view that:

  • Suppresses the map marker for that node only
  • Leaves the node fully visible in node lists, packet monitor, DMs, etc.
  • Persists like other per-node overrides (label, ignore flag, position override)

Use Cases

  • Node broadcasting a spoofed or wildly inaccurate GPS position
  • Nodes received RF-only from far away with no meaningful location data
  • Cleaning up map clutter without losing node visibility elsewhere

Notes

This is distinct from the ignore flag — users may still want to message or monitor a node, just not see a misleading pin on the map.
