If you like to see the GPS coordinates on the camera display for an image taken, just push the "info" button next to the menu button twice. If you like to see the location on a map, you would have to download the image to a photo app supporting a map. I'm using Affinity, but I also can use "Preview" on my Mac.
I think you are asking about geotagging your photos with your Nikon App on your smartphone. I have a Panasonic camera, which probably works the same as a Nikon. Once your Nikon app on your phone established communication with your camera through Bluetooth or Wifi, you will use only the camera shutter release to take a photo. What I don't like about this function, is that you have to make sure that the camera and the phone are communicating. Another thing is that the batteries in both your camera and the phone will be used constantly. I also have the "Geotag Photos Pro 2" app installed on my phone, which is much easier to use. You just have to make sure that your camera and phone have the same time and date. You also would need the "Geotag" application for your computer.
Regarding geotagged images, I am using a Mac but I doubt that geotagging is Mac-specific. The program I use is Adobe Lightroom and it is the program that plots the geo coordinates of the photos onto a map. For years, I used a couple Sony A55 cameras that recorded GPS data along with other camera data for each photo. Lightroom can also use data from my Apple cellphone and I may be using that more in the future given that I am now using a Sony A6600 camera that does not record GPS data. I am assuming that I will take a phone picture in the same area as other photos and use those data to assign the location to the maps in Lightroom.
I wish all cameras had GPS built in but that seems not to be the trend.

Take a look at the "Geotag Photos" app for your smartphone. You only have to make sure that the time on your camera is the same as on your smartphone, and you don't have to take photos with your phone. You also have to get the Geotag Photos App for your computer. Works great for me.
Your example appears to be on a Mac. Windows also has a program called "Photos" but I don't see a way to use the GPS metadata within that program. Windows File Explorer can show you properties of the image file and the details tab will show you the GPS data if it is there, but there is no link to automatically use those data.
Will you be staying at the Cleary Summit Lodge or the Cabins? We were there in March 2015 for four days. The temperature was about 10-15ºF, and I had no problems with the camera, (Canon 5D II). Since the Aurora disappears several times during the night, you will have time to change the battery and also warm up. Bringing your camera from the cold to a warm room temperature will produce condensation on the camera and lens, and it takes a long time to clear up. I just left the camera and tripod outside.
