This works great. 

To clarify a bit:
Select the photos you want to work with, including the reference image with the Geolocation information.
>From the Image menu select Geolocation - the Geolocation box with pop up. 
Right click on the image with the coordinates and select copy.
Select the image or images you wish to add coordinates to, right click and paste.

Just did it. Works Great.

If you take the mobile with you anyway that's probably the more conveniant solution.
