App summary

Mock Locations app allows you to fake GPS location information for all apps installed on your device.
The app spoofs location information by GPS and Network providers.

Fake GPS location in route mode:
Just set start and end points on the map and the app will automatically build a route along the roads, and then set the speed and how long you want to stay at the start and end points of the route.
When you press the play button, the Mock Locations app starts changing your GPS coordinates step by step, as if you were actually driving that route.
You can add as many parking points as you want.
If you want to fly gps location as airplane (on a straight line without roads) open app's settings and deselect the "On the roads" option.
If you don't need to simulate a route and you want to fake gps location in one point, just set only one point on the map and press the start button. The location changer algorithm will mock gps location of your device at this point with little fluctuations of GPS coordinates (to simulate fluctuations of the real GPS signal).

Fake GPS location in joystick mode:
If you want to manually change GPS location of the device you can use joystick. The Mock Locations app will display the joystick over other apps and you will be able to control your fake location from other app. (For this the app needs the "Display over other apps" permission.)

Despite selecting to not go back to real location after route it still happens.

App causing phone to restart for some reason. Please, fix it and will change my review. It's impossible to use now, after reset it's jumping back to real location

Although I've never used it for navigational purposes, it does exactly what it says in faking the location. Stellar app
