How GPS Route Simulation Works on Android

GPS route simulation combines selected locations, calculated route data, and configurable playback to produce controlled virtual movement on Android.

Get GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick on Google Play
GPS route simulation interface on Android

Start with selected locations

Choose points on the map that define the route. GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick can use these coordinates to request route information and present a path for simulated playback.

Calculate the route

The coordinates needed to generate a route may be passed to a routing provider. The result contains the path information used by the app to guide the simulation.

Configure playback

Set an appropriate movement mode and speed, then choose one-time, loop, or reverse playback when available for the route.

Use Android mock-location support

Route playback relies on the same Android mock-location configuration as other GPS Emulator - Routes & Joystick simulations. Device setup and compatibility can vary.
