First of all,

Restart your emulator.
Go to More > Location. Enter your lat-long > Press SEND

In 2020 with Android Studio 3.6, the way I had to change the emulator location is slightly different than accepted answer. Here how it is:

First,

Second, Location is first menu item and it is selected by default. You have to select your location in the map and save that point.

Third, select the saved point and press on select location button in bottom right corner.

That's it, close that window. You are all done.

Sometimes you may have to close the emulator and open (Not restart).

It is not working. It still gives Mountain View location. – Sriram Nadiminti Aug 12 '20 at 15:06
I have only one location added, saved it and set it as SET Location. – Sriram Nadiminti Aug 14 '20 at 03:58

Still not working after set a new location, I tried also with reset. – A. Amini Aug 18 '20 at 09:22
@A.Amini you must restart emulator to take effect – Blasanka Aug 18 '20 at 13:36
@SriramNadiminti, I also have this bug: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64354181/android-studio-emulator-first-transfers-to-mountain-view-location-in-google-maps. Have you fixed this behaviour? – CoolMind Oct 14 '20 at 15:46
@CoolMind - No. I couldn't. – Sriram Nadiminti Oct 14 '20 at 17:44
@SriramNadiminti Did you tried closing and opening emulator after suggested steps? – Blasanka Dec 19 '20 at 00:11
@Blasanka. Yes I have. Even restarted the Android Studio – Sriram Nadiminti Dec 20 '20 at 11:00

For me, closing the `Extended controls` window made it work – Rami Alloush Mar 19 '21 at 22:10

You can set Location using Command prompt or ADB

Set permissions in AndroidManifest.xml:

Find the correct local port for your Android emulator:

$ adb devices
  List of devices attached
  emulator-5554 device

The port we are looking for is in this case 5554. Now connect via telnet:

$ telnet localhost 5554
  Trying::1...
  Trying 127.0.0.1...
  Connected to localhost.
  Escape character is '^]'.
  Android Console: type 'help' for a list of commands

Set your preferred location manually: You set the location with the geo fix command:

 geo fix $longitude $latitude

For Example

geo fix 2.169919 41.387917
OK

ANOTHER EASY WAY

Open Android Device Monitor From Android Studio.

Select the Emulator.

Select Emulator Control

In Emulator Control Select Location Control

Select Manual

In that Give your Longitude and Latitude

@Martinj Try the next method. Using Android Device Monitor. Second Method will Work for Sure – Tomin B Azhakathu Nov 28 '17 at 11:18
when i clicked the android device monitor nothing comes – Martin j Nov 28 '17 at 13:00
the ADM has everything grayed out for emulator control. the emulator lets you type and press buttons with gps coords, but it has no affect – FirefighterBlu3 Feb 23 '18 at 04:23
@Martinj Ops forgot to say that you also need to restart emulator. Did you? – Blasanka Aug 14 '20 at 18:36

In my case; until i login my Google account on emulator, location not changed. After login, it's changed. I think it's about Google Services.

In my case, setting the point and restarting the emulator, then signin in to Google account and checking my location in Chrome directly was the solution.

I solved this by wiping the emulator's data and restarting it.

set force Android Location Manager to true. Like this "position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition( desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.low, forceAndroidLocationManager: true);" then you will get the location on emulator.
