GPSwitch lets you test locations and routes without physically travelling. It does not share your location by itself: what other apps show depends on how each app uses the location Android provides.

Why GPSwitch?

Why would you want your phone to be somewhere else?

Sometimes you need to test, demonstrate or repeat a location scenario without travelling there. GPSwitch makes that simple and repeatable.

Test another location

Make Android provide a different location so you can see what changes without being physically there.

Simulate a route

Simulate movement across several points and see how an app responds along the way.

Test location-based apps

Validate maps, travel, mobility, geofencing or other flows that depend on device location.

Development and QA

Repeat location scenarios without moving devices around the city. Ideal for functional testing and technical demos.

Demos and content

Show how an app behaves in Madrid, New York or anywhere else without travelling there to record it.

Repeat scenarios

Save locations and routes so you can rerun the same conditions whenever you need to compare results.

See it in action

Change the location and see the result.

In this real recording, GPSwitch runs a route while a map app reflects the changing position. Split screen lets you see both at the same time.

Speed, segments and stops

Not every route has to behave the same way. Set the movement speed and add stops at specific points. Premium extends control with advanced features such as speed by segment.

  • Route speed
  • Scheduled stops
  • Speed by segment in Premium
  • Control while running

Initial setup

Android must authorize GPSwitch as the mock location app.

This is a phone setting, not an internal GPSwitch setting. The exact menu name may vary by manufacturer and Android version.

Phone Settings → Developer options → Select mock location app → GPSwitch
  1. 1

    Enable Developer options.
    Do this from your Android device Settings.

  2. 2

    Select GPSwitch as the mock location app.

  3. 3

    Fully close GPSwitch and open it again.
    This step is important for simulation to work correctly after selection.

  4. 4

    Allow notifications when Android asks.
    This helps the simulation service display its status correctly.
