Can't add GPS coordinates to image(s) in Bridge CC 2026

Question

I have a bunch of camera photos that did not get GPS coordinates while shooting. I want to manually add the coordinates in Bridge but I can’t seem to do this. First off, I am aware that Bridge uses a specific format for its format because I keep getting this:

I have the information and format that is required and can add one coordinate, Lattitude, I can't just click in the Longitude section to add that info without getting the above warning. Is there a way to turn that off so I can add the second coordinate? Is there a better way to do this? I don’t really know why this should be so difficult. Your help would really be appreciated.

Thanks for that. I figured out my problem after 6 hours! Even though my coordinates were the exact format requested, no love.

The issue was copying and pasting into the gps windows in Bridge. I finally just typed the info in the two windows, and that worked fine. Not sure why copy/paste wouldn’t work.

The only issue now is some of of the coordinates are off by about ¼ mile in the Lightroom maps module but coordinates were from the web so it could be anything. Close enough I suppose.
