Floater, a fake GPS app, runs in a floating window that allows easy access to other apps and games.
You can fake your location to any part of the world. This app creates a fake GPS location, so that different apps can think you’re there. It is possible to be anywhere in the world, including New York, Paris, London, and other European cities. Fly gps spoof anywhere!
This tool allows developers to test and verify their apps that track and use gps data without locking on to a GPS signal. This is useful if you need to add a geolocation on a photo, if you forgot the location setting when you took it. Our team will not support any inappropriate or illegal use of this app.
Floating functionality is extremely useful because you don’t have to change apps constantly as you create your software.
How to:
1. To enable floating functionality, grant “draw over other applications” permission.
2. You can enable the Developer settings on your device (on older versions, it is not necessary). (See tutorial for how to enable this).
3. Select this app to be a mock location app. Select “Allow mocklocation” from the developer options.
4. For best results, set your location to “GPS ONLY” (or “Device Only”)
5. Drag the black bars to resize or minimize the window so that you can see your app.
6. Move the map to the location you wish to create a fake location. The green dot shows where you want it to be.
7. To start faking your place, click the play button
8. Click on the stop button, not the pause button to stop the fake location.

You will need to have maps and play services installed in order to use this app.
We don’t encourage you to use this application with other non-compliant apps.
Clear and update GPS data, restart the device if the app behaves oddly.
– Make sure to run this app before the fake app. This will ensure that it receives coordinates from this app, and not the real sensor.
To avoid receiving fake locations, disable “Use wireless network” in the Location settings.
The Android OS may kill this app if it is running out of memory or you have too many apps open. To get the best results, make sure you run this app with lots of memory, and/or a few other apps.
This app is designed to assist developers in testing apps that have location functionality. It also works with Tasker and Command line, as well as through Intents. For more information, see the tutorial
– Do not use with any other location changing apps
