You can use one of the applications in Google Play that change your GPS location entering the coordinates (latitude, longitude). We have been using [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps&hl=en_GB this one] but there are many of them in the store.
* Using this app, press on the green arrow in the map view, after entering the GPS coordinates you want to fake, to ensure you are sending the new coordinates correctly
= For iOS devices =
We have not been able to find any app to fake the location so we are doing it using the Xcode to simulate it. Steps to follow:
* Pre-requisites:
** Project Magnet for iOS installed
** Phone has to be connected to the laptop and the Xcode simulator must be used to debug the Magnet app (e.g Execute in the Xcode menu "Product"/"Perform Action"/"Run without building"
* Steps:
** Create a GPX file (e.g ) and enter the location/coordinates you want to fake
** Execute in the Xcode menu "Debug"/"Simulate Location"/"Add GPX File to Project" and pick up the GPX file you have created
** Execute in the Xcode menu "Debug"/"Simulate Location" and check your GPX file
** After that, refresh project Magnet application (scrolling down the main screen of the app) so you can see the Virtual Beacons around to the new location you are faking
