Question

Is there anyway to test the navigation functionality in MonoTouch using the iPhone simulator? Or will I need to write a wrapper class with timer events?

Answer 1

If you have the current beta version you can simulate other positions as well. There are buttons in XCode to choose from some predefined positions or your own positions.
In the simulator there is a menu item called ‘Debug’ -> ‘Location’ where you can choose your positions as well.
You should also be able to create a whole list of positions which are simulated.

While Debugging in XCode:

Location simulation

Now you can test your location-based features in your app without leaving your desk. You can now select from preset locations and routes within the iOS Simulator and pick a custom latitude and longitude with accuracy while you’re running your simulated app.
