It would be nice if there was a standard way of associating a geo
location to a WP post. I've seen several plugins, all of which use
different metadata names for this sort of thing. The most common one
I've seen is "_geo_location". Several different plugins use this, in
the form of "89.1234, -33.1234" to hold their geo data. I think this
is because the earliest plugin "Geo" used this format, and so
compatibility was a good thing.

If we're extracting the EXIF Geo data from an attachment, then the
post for that attachment should get this metadata in this format as
well.
