The emulator doesn't have a gps device. If you want to test it, you
have to use the location test tools that come with the sdk. In
Eclipse, there's a tool in DDMS that allows you to enter gps
coordinates for the emulator. Here (http://kurl.nl?44FE) is a tool
that converts locations to gps coordinates.
