Hello, From a practical point of view I agree, that requiring that the judges do all kinds of possible time-consuming setups for all kinds of applications is not feasible.
However I think, that GPS is special. I consider it a top feature for a mobile phone. Hence it is a bit limited only to be able to demonstrate GPS with the emulator built-in GPS provider over San Francisco locations. Considering the fact that this is only a problem due to our use of the emulator, makes the argument even stronger, that custom GPS data should be allowed (adb push). This is my opinion. However I of cause accept the conditions and terms. No problem.
