Android Tasker – Set location

I needed to be able to set location with Tasker. Here’s how I did.

Requirements:
– Root
– Tasker
– Fake GPS

1. In Tasker create a task – name it “Set location”
2. Add action > Location > Location mode
3. Set “Mode” to “Device Only”
4. Add action > App > Kill App > Fake GPS
5. Tick “Use Root”
6. Add action > App > Launch App > Fake GPS
7. Add action > Task > Wait
8. Set to 5 seconds
9. Add action > Code > Run Shell
10. Tick “Use Root”
11. In “Command” insert the following:

am startservice -a com.blogspot.newapphorizons.fakegps.START -e latitude 47.39769 -e longitude -117.65021

If you need to update the Fake GPS location, use the following command:

am startservice -a com.blogspot.newapphorizons.fakegps.UPDATE -e latitude 55.689773966271304 -e longitude 12.551620809282463

To stop Fake GPS, use this:

am startservice -a com.blogspot.newapphorizons.fakegps.STOP
