android-gps-emulator

android-gps-emulator is a GPS location emulator for changing/setting/simulating the GPS location of the Android emulator through a simple map-based interface, using the geo fix command.

Using GWT and Google Maps in combination with JTA (Java telnet support), this is a simple tool for emulating the geospatial (GPS) location of your local android emulator using the telnet geo fix command.

NOTE: You must have a Google account with billing enabled to generate an API key for the Google Maps JavaScript API. See Google's documentation at Get API Key
