Hey Ram , I see I can't provide a 'provider' . Is there any recommendation about what we should do? My app will be boring if it is stuck in Mountain View on the gps the whole time. Should I simulate location through code, bypassing the locationProvider? Or provide an option to switch between the two? I was planning on letting people pick a location and saving that, and allowing them to use that instead of the gps/loc provider.
