Description
Re: https://github.com/omeka/plugin-Geolocation/issues/33, and related to Mapping changes currently being developed in S, a bulk-edit feature could be added that allows mapping data to be copied from another field to the Geolocation field.
This would get around the incompatibility between CSV Import and Geolocation; simply import your lat/longs into "Coverage" or some other field, then copy them to Geolocation in a bulk-edit process. We can specify the precise formatting to use in the docs.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Geolocation issue 33 and the Mapping changes currently being developed in S, then trace how CSV Import, Coverage, and the Geolocation field are handled. Define the bulk-edit entry point and the accepted mapping format before implementing the copy operation; done means imported latitude/longitude data can be copied into Geolocation and the precise format is documented.
