## Description

GeoLocationControl is a Chrome extension designed specifically for developers to simulate geolocation and movement within web applications. By adding single or multiple points on a map, users can override the browser's native location APIs like `navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition` and `navigator.geolocation.watchPosition` to return custom fake positions, including dynamic movement across a path.

This tool is especially useful for testing and developing location-based web apps, providing controlled and flexible location simulation. To enable movement simulation, keep the extension page open in the background while utilizing the "Start Move" function that calculates the current position based on time and speed changes.
