B2G/QA/Geolocation

Testing Geolocation :

To note :

• We do not have a SUPL server to test against because it is a pay for service. Configurations for AGPS w/ SUPL is up to the vendor. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Geolocation for more details.
  • For example, pointing to supl.google.com:7276 requires a license.
