Add location data in Photos using satellite image

Hi

Is there any way to add / adjust the location data associated with a picture in Photos using a satellite image rather than just the map? This was an option in iPhoto, where you could edit the location and the option of using the satellite data would be there - but I can't see it as an option in Photos. The satellite image allows you to geotag the photo much more accurately than maps...

You can use the Maps.app in satellite view to drop a pin at the precise location. Then copy and paste the location from the Info of the pin as described here: How to copy a GPS location from one Photo to other Photos using the Maps.app


Generally, if you have a map tool that allows you to see the coordinates of a location (the latitude and longitude in degrees), you can write the pair "latitude longitude" in degrees, separated by a space into the location field to enter the location precisely.
