How to run GPS based application (WikiTude) in Android SDK Emulator?

Hi All,

Currently I am writing an Android application which uses WikiTude API. I installed the WikiTude browser application in the Android SDK emulator from Android Market (To get Android Market in emulator I followed this link (forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-529170.html).

When I run the WikiTude browser application in emulator it asks me to set location settings. I enabled “Enable GPS satellites” option & run the application, again it make an alert for location settings. I am not able to run this application. Please help me.

Can anyone tell me is it possible to run GPS based application in Android Emulator? Or not?

If it is, Is there any work around to run GPS based application in emulator?

Any help will be greatly appreciated…

Thanks in Advance……..

Sneaky, and even sneakier initial post. Well I can't complain. It's not over-the-top SPAM IN YOUR FACE this time.

To answer the question. You know perfectly well that you can.
