doe phantomJS support geolocations ? any suggestion?

breaks in the following if condition

  if(navigator.geolocation) {
            window.navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(updateLocation, null, { frequency: 3000 });

You can add "geolocation-fake-support" for running tests or doing other stuff by injecting the required functions into the DOM on initialization. The following example fakes the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition, thus when the website in the browser calls this API endpoint PhantomJS will always return the configured location.

webpage.onInitialized = function() {
    webpage.injectJs('geolocation.js')
};

geolocation.js:

window.navigator.geolocation = {
    getCurrentPosition: function (success, failure) {
        success({
            coords: {
                // Will always return Germany, Rostock
                latitude: 54.0834,
                longitude: 12.1004

            }, timestamp: Date.now()
        });
    }
};
