How do I set the location of the emulator to

Answer 1

Using the "geo" command in the emulator console

To send mock location data from the command line:

1. Launch your application in the Android emulator and open a terminal/console in your SDK's /tools directory.

2. Connect to the emulator console:

   telnet localhost 5555 (Replace 5555 with whatever port your emulator is running on)

3. Send the location data: * geo fix to send a fixed geo-location.

   This command accepts a longitude and latitude in decimal degrees, and an optional altitude in meters. For example:

   geo fix -121.45356 46.51119 4392
