Using core location on iphone simulator

Question

I am developing an GPS based app. So I was wondering how could I simulate location on iphone simulator? I downloaded an sample app locateMe. This app does not work on simulator. Does simulator not support location api?

Any help would be appreciated.

Update: Xcode 4.2 with iOS 5 supports GPS positioning.

Select the Simulator -> Debug -> Location -> Custom Location...

No the simulator does not support it. So for GPS you have to install the application in the device to check it.

Simulator is gonna give you longitude and latitude as the address of Cupertino Where the headquaters of apple is.

So you have to use device only.

Happy Coding
