I actually think it would even be acceptable to just show the gps
coordinates int the standard text format.

And just leave them alone, and let people clear them if they are wrong
(or press the "use current" button to reset them to the current
location). Maybe somebody even might edit them (I've doen that on
desktop, I could imagine doing that on a tablet if I had a keyboard -
think ipad pro kind of use).

Now, it's obviously nice to have some map interface to edit them, but
that's more "fancy" than I actually think is even necessary. Just
*showing* it would give a visual indication that they are there - and
that they aren't changed if you edit some other field.
