I think you are missing that MQTT is supported in two distinct ways and
that these two methods have nothing to do with each other.
The mqtt extension
https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt
takes data from weewx (archive and loop) and publishes it to
MQTT. This is used to provide data to be read by skins like
Belchertown and things like Home Assistant.
The mqtt-subscribe service/driver
https://github.com/bellrichm/WeeWX-MQTTSubscribe
takes data from MQTT and stores it in the database. This is used to
add sensors to weewx, from data that appears over MQTT.
You should be able to store coordinates with mqtt-subscribe and then
also publish those so HA/skin/whatever can see them. But they are in
the db (or as loop packets) in the middle.
