DevLocation
GPS & Location Simulator
Free
Developer location debugging tool. Simulate single-point or route GPS from Mac to a Developer Mode iPhone. GPX, speed, and jitter included. Preview and restore on iPhone.
DevLocation is a location simulation and GPS debugging tool for iOS developers. From Mac, simulate a single coordinate or a continuous route on an iPhone with Developer Mode enabled, so you can test maps, navigation, and location-based features on a real device.
For development and functional testing only. Enable Developer Mode, connect with USB, and tap Trust. Follow local laws and the Apple Developer Agreement.
FEATURES
• Single-point mode: pick a map location, search an address, or enter coordinates
• Route mode: set start, via, and end points, then simulate walk, run, cycle, or drive
• Speed and GPS jitter: adjust speed and add slight jitter to test accuracy logic
• GPX import and export: reuse tracks or save the current route
• Follow roads: optionally generate road-aligned paths
• Favorites and history: save places and routes, replay previous sessions
• Mac and iPhone companion: sync on the same network; stop and restore from iPhone
