[tlocoh-info] Removing duplicates in my data

[Andy Lyons]

Good tips. By default points with the same location, time stamp, and id 
(individual) are considered to be duplicates and either deleted or 
ignored based on the arguments passed to the xyt.lxy() function. 
Unexpected duplicate point errors can be difficult to diagnose, but the 
show.dup.dt=TRUE argument can help. The View() function will open up a 
data frame in something that looks like a spreadsheet, which can help 
you identify duplicate locations, garbled time stamps, etc. If you still 
have problems feel free to post your console output and we'll take 
another look. Best, Andy
