Having output from NMEA pipe does not mean that it is capable to say
where you are. As you are indoors, there are zero satellites seen
around. Hence both coordinates and altitude cannot be determined. So
they are shown as NaNs (not a numbers). The systems seems operating
correctly. Just walk in the open place and wait for a couple of minutes..
