Fake GPS Location - Floater 1.37

Floater is a GPS simulation app that operates from a floating window, providing convenient access to apps and games. It allows users to fake their location on their phone to any place in the world, creating a fake GPS location for various apps. This can be particularly useful for developers who want to properly test their apps that use and track GPS information without needing to rely on an actual GPS signal.

In addition to its functionality for developers, Floater can also be used as a tool for adding geolocation to photos if location was not turned on at the time of capture. However, it is important to note that any misuse of the app will not be supported by the development team.

One of the most valuable features of Floater is its floating functionality, which eliminates the need for constantly switching between apps during software development.

Instructions for using Floater:

1. Grant permission to "draw over other apps" to enable the floating functionality.
2. Enable Developer settings on your device (this may not be necessary on older versions).
3. Enable mock location or select Floater as the mock location app in the developer options.
4. Set your location to "GPS ONLY" (or "Device only") for optimal results.
5. Resize or minimize the window to view your app, and use the black bars to adjust its position.
6. Open the app and navigate the map to the desired fake location. The green dot indicates the chosen location.
7. Select the play button to start simulating your fake location.
8. To stop simulating the fake location, click on the stop button (not the pause button).

Key Features:

• Location history
• Saving locations to favorites
• Customizable notification appearance (text, description, buttons, icon visibility)
• Network mode for controlling the location of other Floater users on the same network
• Mocking GPS coordinates for the service provider
• Creation, saving, and importing/exporting of routes (GPX/KML)
• Fixed or random accuracy settings
• Fixed or random speed settings
• Addition of different map tiles
• Using gyroscopic functionality to navigate the map

Permissions required for this app:

• Internet - for displaying the map
• Storage - for exporting or importing GPX/KML files
• Access Coarse and Fine Location - for simulating your current location
• Location - for displaying your real location on the map

Please note:

• You do not need to turn on GPS, but for optimal results, it is recommended to turn it on and switch to "GPS ONLY" (or "Device only") mode.
• This app requires Google Play services and maps to be installed.
• We do not endorse the use of this app in conjunction with non-compliant apps.
• If the app behaves unexpectedly, try clearing and updating GPS data and restarting your device.
• Run Floater before launching the app you want to fake so that it receives coordinates from Floater instead of the device's actual sensor.
• To avoid receiving fake locations even after stopping the app, disable the "Use wireless networks" option in Location settings.
• As a floating service, Floater may be killed by the Android OS if your device is low on memory or running too many apps. For optimal performance, ensure you have sufficient memory and only run a few apps simultaneously.
• This app is primarily intended as a development tool for properly testing location-based functionalities. It is also compatible with Tasker, Command Line, and Intents. Please consult the tutorial for more information.
• Do not use this app simultaneously with other location-changing apps.

The app offers in-app purchases to remove ads. If you encounter any issues, please consult the tutorial before leaving a rating or comment. For bug reports or feature requests, you can contact us through the feedback option or post on our forum: [forum link].

Note: This app should not be used in conjunction with games and apps that clearly violate their terms. It should not be used for cheating or any malicious purposes. Ensure that the app you are using complies with the use of mock location. Enjoy using Floater for GPS spoofing!
