Can I store longitude and latitude anywhere in my iphone?

OS 9.3.1

iPhone 6s+

I am trying to store a longitude and latitude to places.

Not an address in the traditional sense.

Its a wilderness like area where we will meet for star gazing.

There are multiple locations in different cites.

I would like to be able to share a contact with the group to the "address" like you can for any other address.

This is one example of the issue.


Latitude of 33.7520N, Longitude 117.6745W

If I enter into the maps as:

33.7520N 117.6745W

Maps returns the correct place and directions although maps changes the destinations end to "Orange, Ca. 92808 United States"

from 33.7520N 117.6745W

If I store that address in the contact as "Orange, Ca. 92808 United States" Maps will not open it correctly the next time.

If I store it in contacts as 33.7520N 117.6745W I get some address nowhere near the Longitude and Latitude.

If I took off the N and W it drops me in the Ukraine or some place.
