A few things you need to do, in case this is user error and not the SDK:
1. In the AVD, make sure the device explicitly has gps enabled when
creating/editing it, double check this, it may default to true, though
2. On your emulated device, go into settings, make sure gps is enabled, but
also under applications/development/ settings, make sure allow mock
locations is checked
3. Add Devices and Emulator Control panels to your workspace in Eclipse
4. Make sure the device is selected when you're running your app, in the
Devices panel (you should see logs in the logcat panel)
5. In the emulator control panel, send the location under location
controls/manual
When you send a mock location to the emulator, you should see a gps beacon
show up on the emulator, if GPS is on.
This should at least give you an idea of whether things will work, I am not
sure specifically about sending locations with telent.
