Why can't I enter GPS coordinates directly?

I'm attempting to log some locations based on GPS locations, but the GPS coordinates fields are grayed out and can't be used. Am I missing something? Regular latitude and longitude are available, but my client provided me with GPS coordinates, so I'm stumbling. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hi, they are grayed out to not have different values for the location (in case someone will be confused about why adding GPS if added latitude and longitude. Mostly the coordinates are added by the map automatically).

Just copy your GPS coordinates and add them to the search bar bellow the map (popup window map which will be displayed after clicking on Set Coordinates Button). Google will translate this GPS and will return your the place - with longitude, latitude and GPS (everything will be filled automatically in the form)

Thanks! That's such an intuitive, brilliant scheme that it didn't occur to me. Sorry for the bother!
