I misread your post originally, so apparently I don't know how to read
either...

We could do either. It's pretty easy to get a rough conversion based on
address. That might be better because there are several formats for the
GPS coordinates and it'd be a pain to make sure everyone was entering
them in the same format. I suppose I could check/detect them and make a
conversion, but that's probably more work than it's worth.
