[locale] Adjust latitude calculation in the southern hemisphere

The scaling on the map was a little off; the degrees of latitude
are a little wider there than around the equator and Europe.

 - Johannesburg is in the right spot
 - Hobart is no longer a suburb of Melbourne
 - Punta Arenas is in Chile
