VHough, a member of the San Diego Museum of Natural History said on the Speciforum:
Describe the solution you'd like
A localityGroup table that would act as a container for many locality fields (similar to how CollectionObjectType houses many Collection Objects).
Describe alternatives you've considered
The addition of a one-to-many sub-locality table that would be able to incorporate GeoLocate in its full capacity to plot inputs on the map and then fills the fields on the table with that data. Therefore, this table should also have coordinate fields, similar to what already exists in the Locality table (ex, latitude1, longitute1, latitude2, and longitude2). This would work similarly to Determinations or Preparations relationship with Collection Object.
However, this solution would not work as it is not compatible with DarwinCore.
Nate Schoobs from OSU Invertebrates describes that issue on the Speciforum:
