A controlled location for supported workflows

Android mock-location support is commonly used when a developer, tester, or demonstrator needs to evaluate how a location-aware workflow behaves without physically moving between places. It is an Android system capability, not a guarantee that every other application will accept simulated data.

Developer Options

Device setup may involve enabling Android Developer Options and selecting a mock-location app. The exact steps and labels can vary by Android version and device manufacturer.

After configuration, GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick lets you select a point from the map, save it to Favorites, or use it as the starting point for a route simulation.

Compatibility varies

Apps and services can interpret location information differently. GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick does not guarantee compatibility with every third-party application or service.
