How to Get GPS Phone Emulators Working on the VBA

Use the GPS phone emulator to test your applications.

Windows Phone devices feature built-in GPS that is used for a variety of phone applications such as maps, camera and search to provide location-related search results. Windows Phone developers can use the location-related information on the .NET framework. For testing your Windows Phone applications, you don’t have to actually drive along the path to debug your applications, thanks to the Windows Phone GPS Emulator. The GPS emulator enables you to debug your applications on the emulator or on a real device at home. You can make the GPS emulator work, for example, on your iPhone.

Instructions

1. Locate Cydia on your iPhone. Flick it to open it. Wait while the data is loading. On the following screen you will see a list of management items -- Packages, Sources and Storages. Flick "Sources" to open it.

2. Tap the “Add” icon to add two new sources. Enter "http://cydia.xsellize.com" in the URL text field and tap “Add Source.” Similarly, add another source, “http://apt.123locker.com.”

3. Tap “Manage” and enter “GPSPhone” in the search field. Tap “gpSPhone +Bios” to install it.

4. Go back to “Sources” again. Scroll down the list of sources and find “GBA ROMs Package 1.” Flick it to install it.

5. Tap “Manage” to go back to the main screen. You will see the GPSPhone on the list.
