GPS Gateway

You can simulate location on Android App running on ‘Android Mobile Device’ by Vutog GPS Simulator through GPS Gateway App. GPS Gateway App communicates to Vutog GPS Simulator (provided by Vutog) and receives the simulated locations over Bluetooth. It mocks the received locations on the Android Mobile Phone and your own developed Android App or any Navigational App starts reading the mocked location. This is extremely useful when you want to test or develop your Android App indoor or want to show a fake route or location to your friend on Facebook or Google Map.

Mocking a location means – setting a real time location on your mobile which is not the mobile location at that point of time. That is, if you are in some place of USA, you can tell the phone that you are at some place of India & your phone will show India’s location as your real location.

Summary of GPS Gateway Android App features –
1. Connection to GPS Gateway Server under Vutog GPS Gateway as Bluetooth client
2. Mocking location capability based on received NMEA Sentences & RAW locations from Vutog GPS Simulator
