In the process, these flatpak apps became available for download from the PureOS store:

Komikku - manga reader
Flatseal - review and modify permissions for Flatpak apps
Hydrapaper - wallpaper manager for multiple monitors
QiFlora - monitor plants using Mi Flora devices
Vehicle Voyage - track vehicke service history
Thought I would mention these for your information; not everybody will want to add Flathub, but it’s there if you want it.
When you tell Maps to find your location, it pulls up a dialog box instructing you to enable Location Services, but clicking on it doesn’t take you anywhere. There is not a setting for Location Services in the L5’s Settings menu yet.
Edit: Oh wow, I just realized there IS a Location Services toggle in Settings, under the Privacy section. I’ve had it on all this time, but it still doesn’t seem to do anything (yet), even when trying to get location in Maps. Sorry for the confusion.
From the beginning of the issue, I think notification support was added, but not geoclue.
For a hack workaround, try to start /usr/lib/geoclue-2.0/demos/agent in terminal and try to start maps application after that. Haven’t checked it (no access to L5), but I hope it works.
Responding to the first post, I found that to be the case on the Pinephone too. I’m guessing the store is the same between Mobian and PureOS even if it’s called something different.
If it works the same way on the Librem 5, there’s a new “source” dropdown in the top right that will default to Flathub. You can choose whether to install apps from the regular repository or from Flathub there.
Flathub is added as a repo, but I don’t think it defaults to only that. When searching for a package, I find debians as well as flatpaks. (That said, I’m only seeing the flatpak version of Gnome Maps for some reason, but I’m sure I could install the debian package from the terminal.)
