Hi
I went through some forum entries for gps.conf and found this:
"gps.conf error is not critical...this file is not needed for the mock
gps
feature on emulator. So you can ignore this error. "
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/e6f79b90abf1e043/d978954036f60f7f?lnk=gst&q=gps.conf#d978954036f60f7f
Does it work out of the box (i.e. providing your own mock location
provider) for anyone? If yes, then what are the co-ods that you get?
I am running this on Win XP Sp2.
