Hi,
For Quicktime .mov files, Exiftool displays multiple GPSCoordiantes properties(with and without locale information). On seeing mov tags details, it displays it from ©xyz userdata tag. But I didn't find any official documentation of this tag on Apple website. Can anyone point to where I can find official documentation of this tag by apple.
This doesn't sound like an official tag to me. Can you show us the revelant output of the following command (replace FILE with the name of your file)?exiftool -g0:1 -a FILE (please leave out any irrelevant lines in the output)
Here's the output from the command

Ah, I see. The QuickTime format allows information to be present in multiple languages, that's what you see here. Yeah, it's confusing a bit but you can basically ignore it and concentrate on the information from the Composite tags; those usually give you the best, standardised, information.
Does this answer your question?
P.S. I didn't see "©xyz userdata tag" though, what did you mean by that?
Exif tool is extracting GPS information from two places- meta box(Keys tags) and ©xyz tag (present in userdata tags) in quicktime file as mentioned http://www.exiftool.org/TagNames/QuickTime.html (http://www.exiftool.org/TagNames/QuickTime.html)
Information regarding meta box is present on official quicktime documentation. But I can't find any official source for presence of ©xyz tag.
I note references as comments in the code. For the ©xyz tag (https://sourceforge.net/p/exiftool/code/ci/master/tree/lib/Image/ExifTool/QuickTime.pm#l1095) I decoded it from an iPhone 3GS picture with no other documentation.

Thank you Phil, this clears things up for me.

can you please help me out
That output doesn't show any GPS data.
Try this command
exiftool -g1 -ee -a -gps* 2020_0112_184428_064.MOV
If that output doesn't show any gps listings, then it's quite likely that there isn't any.
