GmmGeocoder is not a mock. It will return correct lat/long if you send an address (I guess you mean address when you say location name).
Here's example code: GmmGeocoder geocoder = new GmmGeocoder(Locale.getDefault()); Address[] addresses = geocoder.query(addressString, GmmGeocoder.QUERY_TYPE_LOCATION, 0, 0, 180, 360); Oh, and as a disclaimer, this is not supported and may go away in future sdk releases, so don't complain to me or Google if it does.
