Choose location by coordinates in iOS app

Platform(s), such as mobile, website, API, other: mobile app

Description of need: When adding a location to an observation on the mobile app, it would be helpful to be able to add GPS coordinates or search by coordinates, neither of which seem possible currently.

Feature request details:

Occasionally, my phone fails to record a location in the metadata of a photos, so I need to add a location when uploading an observation via the mobile app. The easiest (and most accurate) way for me to do this is using GPS coordinates. However, the bar that shows coordinates when they are included in the metadata is not editable. The location search bar does not seem to understand coordinates in the formats I have tried. This seems like it should be an easy implementation given that coordinates are used throughout the platform!

I approved this but will set to close in a few days since this is already planned functionality (although I can’t estimate when it will be added). I just wanted a record here so people could see my reply. :-)
