Summary
The new per-node colors feature (#4880) using the official Meshtastic app algorithm looks great, but replaces hop-count-based pin coloring on the map. Users lose at-a-glance hop distance information when using the official color scheme.
Request
Add a toggle in map settings to switch map pin coloring between:
- Official colors — per-node identity colors (current behavior with official pin type)
- Hop count — colored by hop distance (previous behavior)
Showing both simultaneously would likely hurt legibility, so a simple toggle between the two modes is preferred.
