Is there a Fake Location app for WP7?

[jtphl]

Is there an application that can fake my location ? This is for check-in purposes. I think Android and iOS has it.

Technically this should fall under "General" discussion. (Had to say it as I've been nailed before ) .

Great question though as the WP7 app collection builds there will be a big need for this. MLB app comes to mind right away.....

actually it is more a Q/A question and a good one. I've been recently introduced to Android and thought it was nice to fake a location to use some navigation programs that otherwise would not open. the hope is that the location is stored someplace that is accessible by a 3rd party program and can be changed. would be nice.

If there was, it'd have to be homebrew and with native code. I think to do this on iPhone you'd need to jailbreak also, right?

It can be done and has but not approved by MS. It has the Facebook, Twitter, and 4SQ at this time and called GeoMAGIC.

You could also download the free sdk from create.msdn.com, and sideload the Xap file which you are trying to use for checkins. The emulator has a built in location 'faker' that uses bing maps to find locations. works pretty well
