It appears that the combination of Debian 13, Wayland, KDE 6.3, and NVIDIA drivers causes the new Android Emulator Location UI to break. When you select the Location tab, the map remains blank and the entire interface hangs.

After fiddling with it for a while without success, I found an alternative solution: disabling the new Location UI.

Digging through the Android Emulator source, I found the advancedFeatures.ini configuration file, which allows you to disable the new Location UI and control several other emulator features.

nano ~/.android/advancedFeatures.ini

Add the following line:

LocationUiV2 = off

Then completely close and restart the Android Emulator.
