Google Photos has this nice feature of geotagging pictures even if they didn't have EXIF GPS info. It does it based on your Android devices GPS history.
When downloading photos however, the GPS information seems to be lost. Is there a way to include it in the export? Is it possible that the GPS info is somewhere in the metadata?
Found it - it's GPSLatitudeRef and GPSLongitudeRef.
Google Photos is able to handle only the level 1 locations, therefore you are left with an option to give up on exact coordinates and set up only approximate location.
Île Amsterdam (which is: -37.8324742, 77.5359067)
5HG4+RX La Roche Godon, French Southern Territories

I use https://takeout.google.com and it downloads the pictures and the metadata in JSON format. Make sure to un-select everything but Google Photos.
