Adding location information for photos

I have taken photos at the same location on my camera which does not have GPS information, and on my iPhone which does. The iPhone location is simple and for my purposes is accurate. How do I add location information to a group of photos and how do I keep the location simple?

For example the GPS location in photos for those taken on my iPhone states 'Main Square, Krakow, Poland' which is more than suitable. When I try to add this location to photos taken on my camera the app tries to be more accurate and states the location as a very specific building, which is neither accurate nor what I want. How can I add the simple location please?

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

If you copy and paste the exact GPS coordinates into the "Add a location field", the same location name should appear.The format for the GPS locations is first the latitude in degrees, a space, then the longitude in degrees.

Pasting these coordinates

50.062552833333 19.936941666667

will give the location ⁨"Main Square⁩, ⁨Kraków⁩, ⁨Poland⁩". use a decimal point to separate the fraction part of the degrees, not a decimal comma.

The script Larry pointed to (: Script: Copy GPS tags from one Photo to Other Photos) will copy the GPS from the first selected photo to the other selected photos.

You can also copy and paste the latitude and longitude from the "File > Get Info" panel in the Finder, if youopen your iPhone photos in the Finder.
