A Useful Android Advantage: GPS Spoofing.

A Useful Android Advantage: GPS Spoofing.
Yesterday we were driving to San Francisco from Silicon Valley and I told my son to get us on the wait list for a popular restaurant.
He tried, but the Yelp wait list app uses geofencing and you can't sign up on the wait list unless you're within a certain distance from the restaurant, apparently five miles, and we were about 15 miles away.
My son has an iPhone. I said to him "well on Android..." and he interrupted me and said, "yes, I know what you're going to say, GPS location spoofing."
This is the second instance I am aware of where GPS location spoofing would be useful. The other is to try to get a two-day advance permit to hike "The Wave:" "Two days before desired entry– Apply using your phone or other mobile device between 6 AM and 6 PM Utah time two days before the desired entry date on recreation.gov. You must be within the designated geofenced area to apply."
