We occasionally get a rogue camera marked at latitude 0, longitude 0 (off the west coast of Africa). This could be a few things:
Someone playing with our API and marking a camera there accidentally
Some platform (probably some Android device) that returns 0,0 as a location before GPS is fully initialized
Assuming it's the second problem then this is non-malicious behavior, but we should add an condition to either the client or the server to prevent sending the marking request if the location is 0,0.
Removing the iOS tag since it's an Android bug, and removing the server tag since the server now ignores pin markings at 0,0. Leaving the Android low-priority tag, since we should check client-side and not even make the request if we don't have a real GPS fix yet.
--- Second Update ---
Re-added server tag, since evidence suggests the server is not ignoring cameras marked at 0,0.

Confirmed - on Android the system will return 0,0 for a location if you're indoors and can't get a GPS signal. Not sure why they went that route instead of not giving a GPS ping.
