GPS Route Simulation Tool

by @lylejantzi3rd

I'm working on GPS tools to help support my current contract. I've found there are no good tools for tracing a route on a map and having a mobile device think it's traveling that route. I'm not just talking GPS coordinates, but speed, direction, motion detection, precise timing between waypoints, being able to play these trips forward and backward, step by step, etc. I'm talking time-travel debugging for GPS applications. It's still early days, but I have a demo running. Unfortunately, it requires using a drop-in replacement library for CoreLocation. That alone may make it infeasible.
