Although it only offers two map views (normal and satellite), LocaEdit has a Navigation and Multi Route feature for longer trips. In navigation mode, you can set the movement speed as if you were walking, cycling, or driving between fake points.

This app also includes a joystick on the map screen. You can change its size, transparency, speed, and travel mode. The best part is that all of these features are free! Here's how to use it:

1. Open the app and allow GPS access.
2. Close the app, go to Settings, open Developer Options, and set LocaEdit as the Mock Location app.
3. Reopen the app and drag the marker to your fake location. When the location info appears at the bottom, tap Change.
4. Tap Start and your fake GPS will be active.

Fake GPS Spoofer has a simple and professional design that is easy to understand. The main screen shows a world map you can use to pick a new location. The app also has got many features such as a search bar, two map views, route mode, joystick control, and a list of favorite spots.

In route mode, the GPS moves as if you were walking or driving from point A to point B. If you want more control, you can use the joystick to move the location manually.
