What's an example of a GPS coordinate "outside earth's bounds"?

A longitude that's outside the range of [-180, +180] or a latitude that's outside the range of [-90, +90].

  • Ok but that would still be on earth

    • What do you mean? Is the non-existent millionth floor of the Empire State Building still part of the Empire State Building?

      Also, I'm assuming we're in agreement that software should not accept invalid GPS coordinates from untrusted peers regardless of semantics about whether or not they're within Earth's bounds.
