How to add GPS latitude and longitude using Exiftool in mac (how to edit meta data in jpeg)

I have a bunch jpeg image that is obtained from FLIR camera. Along with that images I collected the GPS coordinates also. Now I'm trying to take the GPS latitude and longitude to the metadata of the image.

I wrote a program in R programming language to find the GPS location of each image with respect to the time(when ever the GPS location time and the camera time matches, I took that coordinates).

ie, for a particular image, I have GPSLatitude <- 19.33423 and GPSLongitude <- 72.090834

But now I need to add those exact GPS location to the image.

I tried to do that with Exiftool. I'm using Mac osX sierra. In that I installed exiftool. But now I don't know the how to update GPS data using that.

Can anyone help me. If possible let me know the method to update the data directly from the R programming language itself

Thanks

    output <- system(sprintf("exiftool -GPSLatitude=%f -GPSLongitude=%f %s",q,p,aa))
    or
    output <- system(paste("exiftool -GPSLatitude=",q," -GPSLongitude=",p," ", aa))
