Re: Was Google Location Accuracy (now is How to Spoof Wi-Fi Location)

How do you spoof Wi-Fi location on Android?

On a real device? You can't do this.

With an Android emulator you can spoof any location you want for the
apps. But this is only possible because the emulator is controlled by
the host PC. On a real device you would need to fake the database which
is used to derive the location based on the Wi-Fi SSID(s) the device can
see.

I probably know this stuff better'n anyone here, but maybe (hopefully)
someone who reads this question knows it better than I do as I do NOT know
how to spoof Wi-Fi location when Google Location Accuracy is turned on.
 
Whenever I turn on Google Location Accuracy (e.g., when an app requires it
to run), I immediately first spoof my GPS location (if I'm not routing).

No, it is not "GPS location" it is really just the location of the Wi-Fi
access point which Google recorder earlier when other devices had GPS
*and* Wi-Fi active and the users allowed Google to use that data in the
device settings (maybe this is even the default, I am not sure).

[...]

Given that situation that it's trivial to spoof GPS when Precise Location
Accuracy is turned on, does anyone know how to spoof Wi-Fi location data?

You can't.
