Question

I need to test web application that extensively uses geo location api (getCurrentPosition, watchPosition). Is there any browser (Chrome, Firefox) plugin that allows to simulate geo location?

Answer 1

If I understood the question correctly and you’re asking for a way to fake geolocation responses for your web app, you might be able to do this in Firefox by overriding the geo.wifi.uri in the prefs, like Firefox’s unit tests do. See:

• http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/tests/mochitest/geolocation/geolocation_common.js?force=1
• http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/tests/mochitest/geolocation/network_geolocation.sjs?force=1 – the httpd.js script responding to requests of the geo.wifi.uri used in the tests.
