Find a way to reject anomalous GPS coordinates. During testing the gnome was sending up coordinates way off the map, which shouldn't really be accepted by the backend. We'll probably want to do some research into ways to detect this to figure out how fancy we want to/can be about it.

When you say way off the map, how far off do you mean?

I was thinking about this, could it be related to the warm up time for the GPS? I don't know if it's starting cold, but maybe it isn't finished triangulating it yet?

Just throwing out ideas if you didn't have a hunch.

These were actually after it had already gotten a fix and sent up valid coordinates. It goes back and forth for a while, although I haven't run it for too long to see what it does over time.
