Sorry if my earlier message didn't address this clearly enough!
The reason those options are missing in the Mac app is because you'd want to manage locations using a map or by looking up addresses, rather than reading and entering two numbers representing a location's precise latitude and longitude. The iPhone and iPad have built-in support for maps and converting addresses (also known as "geocoding"), but the Mac doesn't have anything built-in which is made available to third party developers.
Perhaps in 10.8 Apple will add SDK support for maps and converting addresses, making it as easy to add support for this on the Mac as it was to add support for it on iOS devices.
