NFT: GPS spoofers.

NYRiese : 8/17/2018 11:57 am
Does anyone know how GPS spoofer apps like FakeGPS work in regard to their functioning and their side effects on other apps and services like weather reports and location services.
How does one go about using these spoofers in conjunction with other apps and why would one use them?

them mentioned was on the DirecTV Sunday Ticket thread. People use them to sign up for services like youtube TV and get local NY channels to watch Giants games.

the other questions I don't know about, but I am considering this approach for this coming season if it will work.
Me too but...

how does one go about using them and what are the pitfalls and how well do they integrate/interrelate with other servers.
I'm sure if we both knew the answers we'd both either have them or disregard them.
wondering...

Can't you achieve this effect with an IP Blocker? I use one and can pick the server I am coming in from in different cities around the world.

give you an option to add your zip code.

That's all you have to do.
So, for all your OTHER apps and services...

I imagine the GPS spoof app can be turned on and off like other apps. Just my assumption.

So while you are using it and getting local NY channels to watch the game your weather, location, Uber, open table, whatever, would track your current location as whatever you set it to get the NY channels and then when the GPS spoof app is off it would go back to your phone's native location services.

just my guess, I'll find out soon though, maybe tonight so I can watch the Giants game.
