Exporting, and coordinates

Hello,

Am trying to export photos from Lightroom CC, with edits and all metadata, including location coordinates. I have tried multiple modes, and am not successful on the location front. Have tried:

- using Lightroom Downloader: it exports original pictures, when i've edited them it creates a copy of the original with the name 'originalxxx-edited', and in none of the version there's GPS coordinates;

- exporting the file with the export function: i thought 'original + settings' would add the original and all metadata. In fact, exports all the related metadata (ex. tags, picture title, etc.) but no coordinates. Tried also with JPG and TIFF, same result.

Note: if i upload a picture which already has coordinates, when i export it (with both methods above) the coordinates are exported. But if i import a picture without coordinates, add them in LR CC and then export it, no coordinates. In other words the export process does handle them, only if they were already there. It's like if i add them myself they are stored somewhere else, which is forgotten during the export?

I have looked for additional files where additional info might be stored, but no luck. 

But... on the consideration that information might be stored somewhere else, i did the same experiement with a RAW file: import it without coordinates, update coordinates, export as JPG, and they are there.

So, the issue seems to be related to JPG files which are imported without coordinates - everything else works.

Am i missing something?

Thanks,
