For Forwarders to provide gateway locations, both terrestrial and satellites.

What is missing? What do you want to see?
A new service that allows Forwarders to provide real-time gateway locations as well as a heartbeat to indicate that the gateway is online.
How do you propose to implement this?
A Mapper service
RPCs to manage visibility of gateway locations to Home Networks (like Routing Policy with default settings + per Home Network settings)
RPC to update gateway location. For terrestrial that's GPS, for satellite that's a trajectory (past, present, future ground GPS coordinates with timestamps)
In the future, this service may contain RPCs to receive RSSI/SNR from GPS locations, i.e. from site survey trackers or other gateways.
Can you do this yourself and submit a Pull Request?
