[R-sig-Geo] gbif error message in package dismo

[Éder Comunello]

Hello, Mark!

I'm using R 3.1.3 and the error is slightly different. In my case I could
solve the problem with a manual conversion.

### <code r>

### The command works when you don't use the argument "sp=T"!
gb   <- gbif('Batrachoseps', 'luciae') # 1928

### The problem would be invalid coordinates in database...
gbif('Batrachoseps', 'luciae', geo=T, sp=T, download=F) # 1928
gb.sp  <- gbif('Batrachoseps', 'luciae', geo=T, sp=T) # Don't work!
# 0-300-600-900-1200-1500-1800-1928 records
# Error in na.fail.default(list(lon = c(-121.94704, -121.85457, -121.57892,
 :
#   missing values in object

### In fact, there are three invalid coordinates that could cause problem
in the sp conversion!
err  <- which(!complete.cases(cbind(gb$lon, gb$lat))) # [1]  647 1892 1894
gb[err, 1:5]

### But you can download the data and use a "manual" conversion...
### First eliminate the problem!
gb.sp <- gb[-err,] # 1925
coordinates(gb.sp) <- ~lon+lat
class(gb.sp) # [1] "SpatialPointsDataFrame"
plot(gb.sp)
### </code>
