Geo Fix team does not miss height

Question

In Android 2.2 Emulator, the "geo fix" command does not seem to work correctly. The emulator answers "OK", and onLocationChanged() correctly called in my program. However, the Location object seems incomplete: it registers latitude and longitude just fine, but does not contain a height value: hasAltitude() returns false .

Any ideas why?

Examples of emulator commands:

 geo fix -74 40.75 500 geo fix -77 39 400.0 

Code snippet:

 public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) { System.out.println("onLocationChanged Called"); if (loc.hasAltitude()) { double newalt = loc.getAltitude(); System.out.println("new altitude: " + newalt); gps[ALTITUDE] = newalt; } else { System.out.println("No altitude fix"); } gps[LONG] = loc.getLongitude(); System.out.println(gps[LONG]); gps[LAT] = loc.getLatitude(); System.out.println(gps[LAT]); } 

Output Example:

 onLocationChanged Called No altitude fix -74.012333333333333333 40.756666666666666667 onLocationChanged Called No altitude fix -77.012833333333333335 39.006499999999999996
