Mock geolocation
Useful if you’re working on a website meant for mobile devices. Firefox 3.5 has geolocation, but I use this with Safari and GreaseKit. Replace with whatever latitude and longitude you prefer, naturally.
if (!('geolocation' in navigator)) {
navigator.geolocation = {
watchPosition: function(success, f, options) {
var broadcast = function() {
var position = {
coords: {
latitude: 30.2696384,
longitude: -97.74947,
accuracy: 10000,
},
timestamp: (new Date()).valueOf()
};
success(position);
};
broadcast();
window.setInterval(broadcast, 10000);
}
};
}

Nice! This is going to be really handy since I’m stuck on Firefox 3.0 at work, and doing lots of map-related tasks - geolocation is becoming increasingly useful and I think it’s definitely going to take off this year, for desktops as well as mobile devices.
Shouldn’t you also ‘mirror’ the getCurrentPosition() method?

Yes, I should, but I never used that method, so I didn’t bother to do so. ;-)
