If we look at the purpose of this competition, i think we should not kept busy with these kind of things.
For GPS it is simulated, so why not provide other simulation data for it. With a real device you don't have this problem because GPS does not have to be simulated. For the SD card issue, why can't we just provide an SD card image instead of now making properly crapy code to copy files to the SD card. When it is a real application there will be some kind of installer but i think we should not try to create that for the time being but focus on your application and improve quality of it to keep it stable. BTW i don't think that your application is allowed to write the GPS mock file to the directory where these files are stored. Or is it?
