Hello, I am new to Gears, and am trying to figure out how to do something. This seems the most relevant topic for what I am trying to do. I am interested to know if it is possible to "force" the Geolocation API to use only Cell ID information when trying to get a latitude and longitude. I would also like to be able to provide fabricated cell ID data to the API to ensure that it will work in varous cases without having to physically go to each place.
I would like to be able to do this both on my home computer and laptop, without having the Geolocation API use any information seen by my computer or laptop. I know I could do this via directly using JSON protocol, but because that is forbidden, I need to know if there is another means of doing it.
