My intention is to plot several locations for which I have the longitude and the latitude onto a map (as simple dots). The locations are distributed across Uganda.

Here is what I managed to do so far:
locations$Latitude=as.numeric(levels(locations$Latitude))[locations$Latitude]
locations$Longitude=as.numeric(levels(locations$Longitude))[locations$Longitude]
uganda <- raster::getData('GADM', country='UGA', level=1)
ggplot()
geom_polygon(data = uganda,
aes(x = long, y = lat, group = group),
colour = "grey10", fill = "#fff7bc")
geom_point(data = locations,
aes(x = Longitude, y = Latitude))
coord_map()
theme_bw()
xlab("Longitude") ylab("Latitude")
As you can see by executing the code above, the map of Uganda is loaded from the GADM database and displayed correctly. However, I get the following warning message:
Warning:
Removed 108 rows containing missing values (geom_point).
