Testing CoreLocation on iPhone Simulator

Question

UPDATE: As of iOS 5 and Xcode 4.1 is is now possible to test location in the simulator and even define routes. See http://developer.apple.com for more details.

Legacy Question

Is there anyway to test CoreLocation on the iPhone Simulator?

All I require is to be able to set the location myself and have CoreLocation return it.

Here is my simple hack that forces the CLLocationMager to return the geocoords of Powell's Tech Bookstore only on the simulator:

#ifdef TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR 

@interface CLLocationManager (Simulator)
@end

@implementation CLLocationManager (Simulator)

-(void)startUpdatingLocation {
    CLLocation *powellsTech = [[[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:45.523450 longitude:-122.678897] autorelease];
    [self.delegate locationManager:self
               didUpdateToLocation:powellsTech
                      fromLocation:powellsTech];    
}

@end

#endif // TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
