Open a dive without Location name or coordinates, ex. dives/test0.xml

Add a location name, hit save. Try to add a coordinate via clicking in
the marble widget, nothing happens.

Found the bug and send a patch.

Awesome! I didn't even realize that. Don't i get a manually added dive
profile that i can't delete via the ui then? Yea, i can hand-edit the
xml file but thats kinda...

I would actually like such a feature. We usually by 50L bottles of He
and O2 and mix our gases ourself and when its time to split the bill its
kinda good to verify that what got written into the gas fill log is
somewhat close to what i actually logged i used.

I'm currently trying to produce a poc of how this could look.
