ios: Debug custom location not working

Question

In simulator I set debug->location->custom location latitude and longitude.

Then in code I have:

- (void)updateMap{
    MKCoordinateSpan span;
    span.latitudeDelta = .6;//The amount of north-to-south distance (measured in degrees) to display on the map
    span.longitudeDelta = .6;//The amount of east-to-west distance (measured in degrees) to display for the map region

    MKCoordinateRegion region;
    region.center = _ls.coordinate;
    region.span = span;
    [mapView setRegion:region animated:TRUE];
}

In a different file I obtain @property (nonatomic, readonly) CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations{

    //Get the latitude and longitude location
    CLLocation *lastLocation = [locations lastObject];
    _latitude = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%f", lastLocation.coordinate.latitude];
    _longitude = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%f", lastLocation.coordinate.longitude];
    _coordinate = lastLocation.coordinate;//manager.location.coordinate;
    }

When I run the app the simulator keeps showing San Francisco. Any ideas why?

It is the default location for the simulator. To simulate the location use the drop down in the Xcode window to set a location or a "Path" to simulate a movement.

Where is this drop down? I used Simulator Debug drop down and inputed the latitude and longitude for a location, but I get San Francisco still. – wwjdm Apr 15 '13 at 06:37
It is in Xcode, above the debug output window see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/214416/set-the-location-in-iphone-simulator – tcarlander Apr 15 '13 at 06:41

Got it working:

(1)I just had to shut down xcode and simulator and reload the program. Now it loads my location.:)
