Well the actual problem is clearly caused by bogus software which is
outputting silly elevations instead of just leaving out the elevation
data from the trace.

I don't see why it should matter where you are, though if you're
having trouble getting a fix then obviously that may impact on the
chance of you getting a 3D fix that includes an elevation.

The 2D trace looks sensible anyway, which is slightly odd given that
it claims not to have a fix on any satellites...

Well stripping out the elevation data would be one option as we don't
require that (though we do store it if it present).

Alternatively wait a few hours - the guy that wrote the import daemon
is looking to see what he can do to work round this.
