What Is a GPS Joystick?

A GPS joystick lets you fake your phone’s GPS location with a keyboard, mouse, or on-screen control. It creates steady movement in the direction and speed you choose, so your game character can explore the map step by step.

Steady GPS Movement

Move from your current spot and explore nearby places with better control.

Easy Keyboard Controls

Use the arrow keys or WASD to turn and move with ease.

Teleport, Then Explore

Jump to a faraway area, then use the joystick to move around nearby.

FAQs

1. Does a Pokemon GO joystick trigger the cooldown timer?
Short movement at a normal walking speed usually does not create the same travel time as a long jump. Still, actions such as catching Pokémon, spinning PokéStops, battling at Gyms, or joining Raids can be affected. Check where and when you last played before you move.
2. What speed should I use with a GPS joystick?
For walking, start at about 3.6–6 km/h. If you move too fast, the game may not count your distance, your character may move oddly, or nearby places may not load.
3. Why does my character jump back to my real location?
This is called rubberbanding. It can happen when your phone reads real GPS, Wi-Fi location, and virtual GPS data at the same time. Stop playing, check the connection and location permissions, and wait until the map stays in one place.
4. Why is my Pokemon GO joystick moving but not my character?
First, see if your position moves on the LocaChange map. Then check the phone connection and location permissions. If Pokémon GO still shows the old spot, reopen the game or restart the virtual location.
5. How do I return my phone to its real GPS location?
Stop the virtual location in LocaChange first. Your real position may take a moment to return. If it does not, restart your phone and make sure Location Services is turned on.
