I've not done much of this myself, but I think you'll want to play with the "Map My Family" feature, enter locations to fit your needs (i.e. break out of the 4 place/3 comma format if necessary), and use the geocoder to set the latitude and longitude correctly.
Some enter complete addresses in location fields, I do not, but do enter church or cemetery names. I can do so, and still keep a 4-place/3-comma format too. I try to keep the 4-place format so that I can take advantage of the sorting built into Legacy. So far things are working fine for me. However, if breaking out of the 4-place format becomes necessary, I'd not hesitate to do so. You'll find many postings in the archives where others have done just that. Following are a few mocked up examples to consider. Something like that maintains the 4-place but allows you to geocode the locations correctly.
