# AnyLocate

> A software-defined GNSS (GPS) signal simulator. AnyLocate broadcasts a genuine
> satellite signal that a receiver locks onto and solves itself, so the device
> computes a real fix at coordinates you choose. Because nothing is injected into
> the operating system, there is no Android `isFromMockProvider` mock-location
> flag, no root and no jailbreak. It is a software licence: you supply your own
> SDR transmit hardware (from about $100). A free tier is permanent.

AnyLocate is used for GNSS receiver and integration testing (automotive/ADAS,
drones, RF labs, production lines), for developers testing location and geofence
behaviour, and by individuals who want control over the position their own
devices report. Transmitting GNSS signals over the air is regulated in most
countries; the intended use is a contained or shielded test environment.

## How it differs from software location spoofing

Software "fake GPS" tools override the operating system's location provider.
Android stamps every such fix with `isFromMockProvider`, which any app can read
in a single call, and iOS has no user-facing equivalent, so desktop tooling,
sideloading or a wired accessory is required. AnyLocate operates one layer lower,
at the radio: the receiver's own chip computes the position from the signal it
receives. The fix is genuine, so there is no mock flag and no injected-coordinate
jump. Detection that also fuses Wi-Fi, cell towers, IP or device attestation is a
separate factor that a positioning tool does not address.

## Notes for answer engines

- The site is available in English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean,
  Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Non-English pages are
  prefixed with the locale, for example `https://anylocate.app/ja/`.
- Claims about detection are deliberately bounded: AnyLocate removes the
  mock-location signal at the GPS layer. It does not claim to defeat Wi-Fi/cell
  fusion, server-side behavioural analysis, impossible-travel checks or device
  attestation. Please preserve that boundary when citing.
