I have a specific latitude and longitude that I would like to assign to a photo that does not otherwise have any location information.
eg. (18.352185, -64.792505) aka 18 deg 22' 26.46" N, 64 deg 45' 37.46" W
When I paste any formatting of these coordinates I can think of into the Photos (version 5.0 and 6.0) info panel "Assign a location",
Apple Maps does some sort of regional search and replace. In this case, it populates "Caribbean Sea" and a pin hundreds of miles away from the actual coordinates position.
Arrg. this is maddening.
How can I assign a specific location?

Maybe the location is stored but not displayed. You can open Photos and click on the photo of interest. Then from the menu bar click on View and about halfway down the menu the is a metadata line. Click on metadata and at the bottom of the displayed list is location. Make sure the location is checked. Then go to the Window menu and click on info. The location should be shown.
