Maybe not Floyd, but with Google Maps, if you already know where a grave is located within the cemetery (as an example), it is possible to accurately pinpoint the GPS location of that grave and thus obtain the Latitude and longitude of the location. Google Maps is free and so is Legacy basic - anyone should be able to input the lat and long of any location.
Perhaps the feature was not added as a separate feature because there is already the lat and long capability within the location mapping section of Legacy, and given the incredible flexibility I've recently been finding out with the locations, it would be possible to have a location GPS marked for each known grave relating to family. Perhaps a little bit overboard to give every single Peterson within a cemetery their own separate location, but there's nothing to say that lat and long can't be stored within the notes field of the the burial event.
