Fake Geolocation in Chrome

Question

How can I fake my geolocation coordinates in Chrome?

I know that this can be done manually using Chrome developer tools as explained here: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/device-mode/device-input-and-sensors

However, I need a code solution, preferably JavaScript or Python.

When the code is run, Google Maps and other geolocation sites should display fake location.

You should be able to override navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition().

The following snippet generates a link that sends you to a map of Tokyo:

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition = (s, e) => {
  s({
    coords: {
      latitude: 35.6895,
      longitude: 139.6917
    }
  });
};

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((p) => {
  const {latitude, longitude} = p.coords;
  const a = `<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=${latitude},${longitude}">Map</a>`;

  document.getElementById('map').innerHTML = a;
  console.log(a);
});

<div id="map"></div>
