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
