Meshmonitor (https://github.com/Yeraze/meshmonitor) can more or less estimate position of node without coordinates using only one data source (packets from own node) to place that node on map. On the other hand meshview just showing 'unmapped packets' pop-up. It should be quite easy to trilaterate node position using huge amount of data from mqtt stream. We don't need precise positon just believable placement on map.

I will amuse that the users do not want nodes to be triangulated if they do not post their location.
