ecotone loggers with TDR clean file retains a significant amount of NA values for lat and lon #58

After running cleanGPSData() for ecotone loggers with a TDR (the base file contains both GPS and depth data in 1 unique file) the resulting output contains a great amount of NAs for lat and lon. Which defeats the purpose of cleaning and producing a GPS file, which now contains (if only with Ecotone data) more NAs (because it keeps all the "diving" rows of data) than actual GPS locations with value.

Additionally, there is an issue with speed calculation when incorporating all the NAs
