About Fake GPS Location - Floater
Floater is a fake location app, that runs from a floating window, allowing easy access to other apps.
Fake the location on your phone to any place in the world. This app set up a fake GPS location so other apps thinks you are there. You can be in New York, Paris, London etc.
Designed for developers to properly test their apps that use and track gps information without the need to lock on a GPS signal. Useful when you want to add a geolocation to a photo if you forgot to turn on location when you were taking it. Can also be used as a prank app - any foul/wrong usage will not be supported by our team.
The floating functionality is super useful so you don't need to constantly change apps as you develop your software.
How to:
1. Grant "draw over other apps" permission to enable floating functionality.
2. Enable the Developer settings on your device(on older versions it is not needed)(See tutorial on how to enable this).
3. Enable mock locations or select this app as mock location app. In the developer options select "Allow mock locations".
4. Set your location to "GPS ONLY"(or "Device only") for best results.
5. Resize the window or minimize it so you can view your app, drag the black bars to move the window.
6. Start the app and move the map to where you want to fake your location. The green dot indicates where you want to be.
7. Select the play button to start faking your location.
8. To stop the fake location click on the stop button not the pause button.
Features:
- Location history
- Save Locations to Favorites
- Change notification look (text, description, buttons, show/hide icon, hide from status bar)
- mock GPS coordinate to the service provider.
- Create, save and import/export routes (GPX/KML)
- Set fixed/random accuracy
- Set fixed/random speed
- Add different map tiles
- Use gyro to move the map
- Network mode, control location of other Floater users on the same network
Permission needed for this app:
- Access Coarse and Fine Location - to fake your current location
- Location - needed for when you want to show your real location on the map
- Internet - to display the map
- Storage - needed for when you want to export or import GPX/KML files
Notice:
- There is no need to turn the GPS on, but for best results turn it on and disable "high accuracy" and change it to "GPS ONLY"(or "Device only")
- This app requires you to have play services and maps installed.
- We do not encourage you to use this app together with non complying apps.
- If the app behaves strangely, clear and update GPS data and restart the device.
- Run this app first before the app you are faking so it will receive coordinates from this app and not from the real sensor
- Disable "Use wireless networks" options in Location settings in order to avoid problems where you will keep receiving fake locations even after stopping the app.
- Since this is a floating service, the app may get killed by the Android OS if you are running low on memory or running too many apps. Make sure run this app when you have lots of memory and/or running a few apps to get the best results.
- This app is catergorised as a tool to help developers properly test apps with location functionalities. Also works with Tasker, Command line and through Intents. See tutorial for more info.

Does what it says. Simple, easy to use guide. I use this in testing development of mobile GPS aware applications. I wish the pokemon reviewers would read and go rate some other app down, as this app has done everything I've needed, and more. So useful I donated. I really like the route feature. Keep up the good work.

I'm still trying to figure out though how to use it with pogo. Im using a5, lollipop. Tried high accuracy gps, mode 3, mock gps and wifi in floater settings. Load pokemongo and swiftly turn off developer settings. This seems to do the job of transporting me to my desired location. My only problem is i cannot move since mock location is turned off. When i turn 0n the developer settings. The error for cannot detect location appears. It seems like pokemongo was able to detect whenever mock location.

Floating window makes testing a breeze, keep up the good work and forget these pokemon cheaters. Seems to have lost the fused locations toggle after system install though, never knew it would be so fun being in two places at once!

Have you considered adding a feature which automatically adjusts the faked altitude based of the current lat/long? This would be a significant improvement and would add a feature I've only seen one other mock location app use. Edit: "Fake GPS location" by "Lexa" has this feature

If only the interval timer was longer or you could turn it off . 100 is okayish. But even if it was a simple option under interval to leave gps at the set location till apps stopped?............. I just tried pausing it like u said but it still kicked me back after about 100secs- to my actual gps location not where i assigned the app to be........well ig at least we know the issue is. Great app does what its designed for. Just wish i didn't get kicked back to my actual location every hundred seconds.

Perfect, Intuitive, Usable - - I cannot for the life of me understand why this app has such a low rating. Its floating widget-like control is innovative, so you won't need to flip between apps constantly. It's able to spoof GPS on apps that others mostly cannot. It can force-spoof even apps that rely on WiFi to reconfirm location. It's able to use joystick/map scroll/type-in options for location, and you can star your favorites so going back to them next time is 2-click simple. I would pay for this app if they have a premium version. Maybe the interface is unfamiliar to some?
