Add a check if GPS data is null #11

Open cghiorzi opened 9 years ago

Some devices with GPS only report lat. /long and not altitude, such as a Windows Surface tablet. We should check for null data and translate it to zero to avoid query problems in HAWQ.

We should see if there's a more appropriate value to put in to translate lat and long if it does return null, since a 0 is not necessarily invalid data....

While it is true that 0 is a valid value for Lat and Long, I think translating to 0 is ok, since Lat 0 Long 0 is in the ocean off the coast of Africa.
