Hello,
How can I transfer GPS coordinates from one photo to another?

When I need to do that I simply copy and paste them from one photo to the other.

Another way to do that, is to select the photo (or photos) without GPS coordinates, then add the photo with GPS coordinates to the selection (hold down CTRL and left click on the photo). Then, in the metadata panel, click on the pencil icons next to the GPS coordinates. The coordinates of the last photo selected will be applied to all photos selected.

This. Or one of the many other ways available in IMatch to copy metadata and attributes between images, e.g.

Just to offer yet one more way, and I do this a lot when I've taken photos at a specific location with both my iPhone, which records GPS, and my Canon EOS M50 Mark II which does not record GPS.

I'll switch to the IMatch map module and select the iPhone image to identify the map location then I'll select the Canon image and click on the same map marker to GPS encode the same location into the Canon image.
