The reason to have them together is so you can pull them both out
together. There's never an occasion where you need one and not the
other.

And splitting them isn't that hard. If you've got "123.567,-12.345"
then all you have to do is:

$meta = trim(get_post_meta($post->ID, '_geo_location', true));
list($lat, $long) = split(',', $meta);

And voila.
