## What it is
A macOS application that spoofs the GPS location of connected iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, or iOS Simulator devices without jailbreaking, using libimobiledevice. It is aimed at developers testing location-based apps, offering map-based location picking, movement simulation, navigation, and GPX route support.

## Use cases
- fake my iphone gps location for testing
- mock location on ios device without jailbreak
- test location-based app with simulated movement
- spoof location in ios simulator
- simulate walking or driving route on iphone
- import gpx route to test navigation app

## When to choose
- you develop iOS apps that use location services and need repeatable location tests
- you want to spoof a physical device's location without jailbreak or installing an app
- you need movement simulation (walk/cycle/drive) or GPX route playback on Apple devices

## When to avoid
- you need to spoof locations on iOS 17 or later with this open-source version
- you want to cheat in iOS games - unsupported and discouraged by the author
- you need a Windows or Linux tool - this is macOS-only
