Hopefully I'll update the mock to be more complete in the near future, but for now it is what it is.

It sucks that Microsoft didn't provide this as part of the emulator. Also, I still can't figure out why they released a locked emulator. How do they expect anyone to develop serious apps with all features locked up?
Hi James,

There are a couple of very smart and very useful projects I’ve come across for working with location
