Get latitude and longitude for activities #16

We have the rest of the information we need for the activities, we just need the latitude and longitude for use with the Google Maps API. To get the latitude and longitude, all you need to do is right click a location's pin, or the name right next to the pin. The very first option in that context menu copies the latitude and longitude into your clipboard. You can paste that string into the raw (lat, long) column in the Activities Table spreadsheet, and a formula in the latitude column will parse it.

It's also possible that we would want to use place IDs to make the resulting maps look a bit nicer. You can search for locations and get their place IDs at that link. While it's not completely necessary, I think it might be best to get it taken care of right from the get go.
