Spoofing my phones gps location

[Andy Cook]

Hi I'd like to trick my phone to think it's in different locations around the county... Is this possible and if so how complicated would this be to do?

[Robin Wood]

Look to the Ingress and Pokemon communities, it's a common way of cheating for both of those.

I'd imagine this would be easy if you rooted the phone and installed a custom ROM.

Most of the games have spoofing detection - android has GPS spoofing built right in.

To avoid the detection you need to be rooted and have a module manager like xsposed so you can have anti GPS spoofing spoofing.

Yes it's possible.

There are different ways to do it, and it depends on the reason why you're doing it and the software/hardware you're using.

What you ideally want to avoid is manufacturing a GPs signal and transmitting it, because that's not legal.

I'm not aware of methods for an apple device, however android is a bit easier, you can root the phone or tablet and use software or hardware to emulate a location. Though most software checks for this. Alternatively you can run android software on a desktop computer and that's a bit easier to trick.

How difficult is it to just transmit fake gps signals legal or otherwise? Out of curisoity

[Michael W]

There's a post on Hackaday about transmitting your own gps for Pokemon amongst other methods. Needs a hackRF software defined radio and some other hardware which are a bit spendy.

Stanto... The links not working? What was it

[Will Newton]

IEEE Spectrum also had an article about spoofing GPS last month:

The link is working here. I suggest if you're trying to open it on an iPad that you use a different device if possible. It's the presentation from Defcon by Unicorn Team detailing GPS spoofing.

Hi Andy I am new to this group - on Android devices this is straightforward, put the device into developer mode (Settings -> About -> Tap on build number about 10 times) then Settings->Developer Options -> Select mock location app

You will first have to have installed a 'mock location app' - > try FakeGPS free from Android Store. I have no idea with regards to iOS.

Thanks, Dan

Thanks Dan! Appreciate it, just need to get an android phone... Mine died a week ago, back to my old faithful Nokia last forever with buttons!

[Dan McDaid]

Been there myself recently :-) good luck
