how to test geolocation on simulator

Question

I'm starting with geocoding, and after read a few things I realize that are some people using the simulator for testing their code.

Is that possible!?? Can someone tell which tools use!? (it's better than walking around)

Thanks

Answer 1

XCode 4.2 with iOS 5 now supports "Location simulation", you can refer it HERE.

Steps to use this feature:

1. Build & run your app in iPhone 5.0 Simular.
2. At the top menu bar, you'll find Debug -> Location -> Custom Location..(or you can choose to use others).
3. Set the Latitude & Longitude for the location.

Answer 2

As of iOS 5 and Xcode 4.1 is is now possible to test location in the simulator, There are also premade classes for this such as : https://github.com/progrmr/CLLocationManager-simulator
