GeolocMock lets you set the location that IE9 will report to pages via the W3C Geolocation API.
To install: unzip the release binaries zip file into a new directory and run geolocmock.exe.
GeolocMock displays latitude, longitude, altitude and uncertainty in textboxes and on a map. A user may change the values in the textboxes directly or click on a location in the map to change the location values that will be reported to IE. A user may press the 'Me' button on the map to move to their actual location in the map.
When the system has no geolocation device installed, IE9 uses a webservice to determine the user's location. GeolocMock uses FiddlerCore to change the values reported by the webservice.
Chrome works similarly and GeolocMock will work for Chrome but it doesn't reset Chrome's geolocation cache so GeolocMock works only inconsistently with Chrome.
Try it with an example geolocation page.
