Cannot search by coordinates

I want to make my flightplans ahead of time on the desktop app for convenience. My sites are remote, far from any major center of population, so no place names can help me find them. They are only marked as GPS coordinates. Every time I copy/type the coordinates into the searchbar I end up in Bailen, Spain. Any idea why this might be?

Thanks

What format are the GPS coordinates in, I found this handy site for converting coordinates https://www.pgc.umn.edu/apps/convert/

Considering the above, maybe a way to get around the problem would be to search using the coordinates in google earth, create a marker at that point, save it as a kml, then import the kml into Dronelink as a checkpoint
