If I understood the question correctly and you're asking for a way to fake geolocation responses for your web app, you might be able to do this in Firefox by overriding the geo.wifi.uri in the prefs, like Firefox's unit tests do. See:

I am a bit late, but Microsoft Edge has this useful tab Emulation.

You can open this developer tool as usual hitting F12 button or by clicking on the browser's menu button, Developer Tools F12.

Geolocation: Simulate a GPS receiver and enter GPS coordinates to test location-aware features in a webpage.
