Storing GPS data

I need to store GPS data in the MySQL database (database is expected to have about 1.000.000 inserts daily). A colleague proposed RANGE partitioning - so I tried to apply that. However, problem is that one of the fields (position - intended to store latitude and longitude) is spatial type POINT. Tables with spatial type can not use partitioning. So now I have a kind of dilemma:

1. If I wanna use partitioning I need to store lat & long as FLOAT or DOUBLE. Which is better?
2. Using spatial data type without partitioning or using partitioning? What to choose?
