I'd reply if I knew the answer, but I managed to misunderstand the question. Now understanding the question I'm not sure how to change the emulator's settings. On the surface it doesn't appear to be intuitive. – Adam Houldsworth Aug 25 '11 at 10:23

Do you know any updated version with location service settings? – Vadivelan Aug 25 '11 at 10:56

The default emulator image that is shipped with the development tools is not as full featured as the real OS. You can't for example, setup email accounts, turn on airplane mode or edit location settings. This does cause a problem when you wish to test your app without location services available or data connection, for example. In the case of a data connection you can achieve this by turning off the network connection on your host operating system (Windows) but this is inconvenient.
An alternative is to install an unlocked ROM for the emulator. You can, in fact, have multiple emulators installed which can be super convenient. Check out Justin Angels blog post for more details.
