how to test geolocation on simulator

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

To add to Kjuly's answer, if it throws error such as "code":2 for me, then try to put instead of Debug->Location->Custom location the other option such as Apple, City Run etc. For me it dropped out the error and then you can turn back to Custom location.

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.

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
