Description

Something like

$egMapsHardcodedGeocoding = [
    'Berlin' => '52.517037 N, 13.38886 E',
    'London' => '51.507322 N, 0.127647 W'
];

If the value being geocoded is found in this list, the corresponding coordinates would be used rather than the real geocoding service.

This allows fixing incorrect coordinates for a specific usecase or to have limited "offline support" for important locations.

Research direction

The issue does not name files or tests; start by locating the geocoding configuration and the code that calls the real geocoding service. Define how configured place names override service results while unmatched values retain the existing behavior, then add coverage for both cases.
