Fake GPS app for Android review by AndroidFreeware
The Fake GPS app for Android phones is an invaluable tool for developers and testers of applications that require location-based functionality. With just one click, the user can set their phone's simulated coordinates to any spot in the world. This enables developers and testers to easily evaluate how their application may behave in different geographic locations without needing to rely on real-time GPS signals, which can be challenging or even impossible to acquire depending on mobile coverage and other factors.
In order to use the Fake GPS APK application effectively, it is necessary that users toggle the 'Allow Mock Locations' setting within their device's Development Settings menu. Once this setting has been enabled and the app opened, users are presented with a straightforward user interface that allows them to enter coordinates manually or search for specific locations using keywords such as state/province name, city name or address.
Once a destination has been selected (or entered), the user must ensure that Fake GPS remains open before launching the third party application they wish to test or develop with new location data. Fake GPS will then simulate movement along a route between two points of reference at predefined speeds; these values can be fine tuned prior to triggering testing mode by way of an adjustable velocity slider in the UI.
In summary, those who need assistance with simulating location-dependent events should look no further than Fake GPS - a highly configurable yet easy-to-use virtual navigator designed primarily to help developers maximize their projects' potential without having to rely on actual geolocation services.
