Fixed location
Search for a place, drop a pin or type coordinates, then Set location. Geovoya keeps the point in place and reconnects the same phone if the cable blips.
Features
A complete toolkit for location on real phones
From a single fixed point to three phones walking and driving at once. Geovoya runs on Windows and macOS and controls iPhone and Android over USB or Wi-Fi.
Every plan
Core features
The free plan covers one phone with fixed locations, two-stop road routes at 45 mph, 3 saved routes, place search and keyboard shortcuts.
Road routes
Plan a start-to-destination route on OpenStreetMap roads and play it back with a new position every second. Pause, resume and hold at the destination.
USB or Wi-Fi
Start on a cable, then switch the same phone to your Wi-Fi network in one click. The current location and a running route carry over.
Guided iPhone setup
A live checklist for iOS 17.4+: the Trust prompt appears on its own, Geovoya reveals the hidden Developer Mode switch and mounts Apple’s developer image automatically.
Android 8+ over ADB
Bundled ADB and a mock-location helper that Geovoya installs and selects for you. No root. Android 11+ can also pair over Wi-Fi without a cable.
Keyboard shortcuts
Enter to set, Space to start or pause, R to restore, ⌘K / Ctrl+K to search, and ? for the full list.
Honest restore
Restore real location clears the simulation. Status shows what the phone actually acknowledged, and a lost connection is never shown as restored.
No telemetry
No analytics and no cloud location history. Cloud sync is off until you turn it on, and until then your places and routes never leave your computer.
Pro Geovoya Pro
Pro features
Nine features for testing and power use, in one plan.
Walk mode
Steer the location with an on-screen joystick or W A S D and the arrow keys. Shift sprints, Alt slows down, and the map follows along.
Any route speed
Walk 3, run 6, bike 12, drive 30, 45 or 65 mph, or any speed from 1 to 120 mph. Change it mid-route and see time remaining and arrival.
Multi-stop routes
Up to 12 stops in order, reorder them, loop back to the start and pause for a set time at each stop.
GPX and KML
Import recorded GPX or KML tracks and waypoints, and export planned routes and saved places as GPX.
Realistic movement
Gradual acceleration, slowing for turns, optional stops at sharp turns, small speed changes and adjustable GPS drift.
Route library
Keep up to 500 routes with collections, favourites and notes. Search, sort and load one onto the map with a click.
Route editing on the map
Add via points, drag stops, draw straight segments and snap the changed part back to roads, with undo and redo.
Up to three phones
Simulate on up to three phones at once, each with its own location, route or walk, its own map marker and Stop all.
Cloud sync
Saved places, recent places, routes, play history and shared settings stay the same on every computer where you turn sync on. Off until you do.
Route editing Pro
Shape the route right on the map
Click the line to add a via point and drag it. Drag numbered stops, switch a segment between roads and a straight line, or draw freehand segments. With Snap to roads on, only the legs next to the moved point are re-planned. Undo and redo with Ctrl Z.
- Keyboard handles: Tab to a point, arrow keys move it 5 m
- Editing is locked while a route is running, so playback stays consistent
- Save edited routes to the library, with the exact path
Several phones Pro
One app, up to three phones
Every phone keeps its own session, lock and reconnect schedule. One shared one-second tick moves them all; a slow phone skips a tick instead of holding up the rest.
Under the hood
How the connection works
iPhone (iOS 17.4+) uses Apple’s developer services through the bundled open-source pymobiledevice3. Geovoya shows the Trust prompt, reveals the hidden Developer Mode switch and mounts the developer image automatically, also after every restart. The location is re-sent every second and each command is acknowledged.
Android (8.0+) uses bundled ADB and the open-source Appium Settings helper, which Geovoya installs and selects as the mock-location app.
Wi-Fi: after a working USB session, one click moves the phone to the same network and keeps the current location. Wi-Fi has automated test coverage but hasn’t been verified end to end on physical phones yet.

Roadmap
Planned, not yet available
We’re working on these. They don’t exist yet, and details may change.
Hosted search and routing Planned
Place search and road routing on dedicated servers, instead of the rate-limited public demo services the app uses today.
Team plan with seats Planned
Shared billing and per-seat phone limits for QA teams and device labs.
Command-line runner Planned
Drive phones from scripts and CI: pick devices, load a GPX file and play it back headlessly.
Signed installers Planned
Code-signed, notarized builds that open without security warnings.
