PinGPS is a mock-location utility built for development, QA, and regional feature verification. Set PinGPS as your mock location app in Developer Options, pick a coordinate on the map, and press START — the system keeps receiving that coordinate until you stop it.
Developer Options are required. To use PinGPS you need to enable Developer Options on your device and select PinGPS as the mock location app. The setup wizard walks you through this the first time you open the app.
Features
• Pick a target by tapping the map, searching for a place or address, or typing coordinates
• Clear START/STOP control over the mock-location session
• A persistent notification keeps the session alive with the screen off or the app in the background
• The "Location pinned", "Connection unstable", and "Setup needed" states shown identically in the app and the notification
• Your five most recent locations for quickly repeating a test, each deletable with undo
• Up to three named favorites, selected on the map with one tap
• Copy a coordinate to the clipboard in a form you can paste straight back into a search field
• A diagnostics screen showing injection status, error codes, and device-specific known issues
• A support bundle you review and choose to share yourself when something goes wrong
• Light, dark, or system theme, and a setting to rotate the map or keep north up
• Delete stored data (recent locations, the diagnostic log, saved support files, the last map position) from Settings whenever no session is running
• Available in 15 languages: English, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, Hindi, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Russian, and Arabic
PinGPS Pro
PinGPS Pro is an optional lifetime one-time purchase — no subscription and no auto-renewal. Everything listed above stays free; Pro adds:
• Unlimited favorites, plus favorite folders, search, and sorting
• Unlimited recent locations
• No ads
• A Quick Settings tile that stops the running session or starts again at your last location
• Your own update interval, accuracy, and altitude for mock locations
• Route simulation: run multi-waypoint or imported GPX routes at walking, cycling, or driving speed, queue the next route, and save routes for later
Support limitations
PinGPS uses only the standard Android Developer Options mock-location mechanism. It does not guarantee correct behavior inside apps built to detect or block mock locations — games, banking, attendance, delivery, or security apps, for example. It is not designed to bypass or evade detection in those apps, and it contains no rooting, hooking, or system-modification features. Mock-location behavior varies by manufacturer and OS version; the in-app diagnostics screen surfaces known issues and workarounds for the current device.
PinGPS is free to use. The free version shows one silent banner ad at the top of the map screen while you browse — never on the START or STOP controls, during a session, or on diagnostics. PinGPS Pro removes it.
Mock location for dev/QA: pick a spot, keep it pinned, see the status.
