This could be important for privacy and also for testing purposes.
A list of few experiments. If there are others, please share.

A text file and about:config
# I'm not there:

# Opera Unite Geolocation Provider
http://my.opera.com/unite/blog/2011/03/01/spoofing-your-location
This application implements Geolocation Provider,
which can be pluged into Opera, so Opera will use it
when any web application will use Geolocation API
from JavaScript.
