location tags should be shorter

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The current string representation has too many digits. We don't have that
precision, and it takes up screen space. We might either replace the
(displayed) location with four digits after the decimal point, or a simple
"location" or "@" string. 
However, I rather like the location to be visible numerically on first
sight, as it indicates the closeness to the geohash. Another nice option
could be to display the distance to the geohash instead.

As per r336 and r337, both wiki features (message sending and picture 
uploading) will
round off the displayed geotags at four decimal points instead of displaying as 
much
as it possibly can.  I left the full precision in the openstreetmap.org link, 
though,
as that isn't immediately displayed to the user.

As for the distance to the hash point, that is also feasible, but we'd need 
another
option in the sending screens, which might take a bit of extra rearranging for 
QVGA
screens (I didn't notice until just now that the anonymous warning just barely 
fits
on the message activity).
