Q: Photos Location - Override

I have scanned hundreds of photos from prints and negatives, and am adding them to my Photos Library.

 

I am adding the Location to each batch of photos using "Command I".

 

I am able to enter my home address and Photos appears to recognise it, but when I close the dialogue, and view the photos in Moments, the location has changed to a local landmark, in this instance a local Golf Club. If I select the photo again, and click Command-I the map shows the dropped pin in the correct location for our home address.

 

Is there a way to correct the location, or to stop Photo's from adjusting the location ?

 

Right now it looks like we have spent most of our Christmas' and Birthdays at the Golf Club.

    Currently, there is no way to override the name of the location.  Photos is retrieving the names of the locations from a places database.  Send feedback to Apple about  a usability problem.  This database needs updating.
