    <p>I just send some coordinates to the android emulator. </p> <p>I used this commands for sending the fixes: </p> <pre><code>geo fix 8.494062000 52.038213000 </code></pre> <p>This will send my emulator near the bielefeld university in the google maps app. The next command I issued was: </p> <pre><code>geo fix 8.495543000 52.038180000 </code></pre> <p>Sadly my position does not change on the emulator. Even mytracks tells me in the logcat output that the position of the user has not changed. </p> <pre><code>geo fix 8.501787000 52.036614000 </code></pre> <p>and </p> <pre><code>geo fix 8.508524000 52.033138000 </code></pre> <p>don't do anything either. And if the position changes it is nowhere near the position I recoreded the track at. All this coordinates are picked from a track that I recorded with my motorola droid with mytracks on a multiple kilometer streetcar ride. Loading the gpx file in google earth displays a neat and accurate overlay over the streetcar line. Playing the track as a gpx file gives me similar results. There are 300 points recorded but only 4 of them will change my position on the emulator.</p> <p>Is there some kind of accuracy setting effecting the emulator? This way the load gpx track feature does not help a bit for testing.</p> <p>Somebody else had strange issues with the load gpx file features?</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>This issue does not only affect the geo fix or load gpx file feature it affects all mock locations that are send to the emulator. </p>

    1. COIt seems that regardless which tool I use to send the location to the emulator the emulated location will be rounded to the second decimal place. This would make the Emulator useless for testing driving or walking applications so I figure there must be a trick or configuration to increase the accuracy

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
