There are already some topics about that problem in the android- developers mailing list. >From what I understand, DDMS controls are completely bugged. Thus, even if KML files are still supported according to the documentation, KML with multi coordinates are not supported anymore (e.g. KML files generated by google earth when saving a direction doesn't work anymore). The only means to interact with the GPS provider is: * via telnet: "telnet localhost 5554" then "geo fix lat lon" * programmatically (I did not test that and I read there is some problems with programmatic mock providers). I am currently working on a programmatic mock provider working with KML files.
