   If GPS is off, and the phone is having to do coarse location via wifi,   
   it checks what visible SSIDs and signal strengths it can see, does an   
   API call on a google database which returns a location ... that's how it   
   works normally ... to fake a location you'd have to poison their   
   database adding fake SSIDs and removing real ones ... basically a   
   non-starter that way.   
      
   However there is reference to mock location support in the "hidden"   
   developer options, basically an API to feed fake co-ordinates from an   
   app to the phone
