Open Source Swift Mapping Software

LocationSimulator is a macOS app (10.15.x and later) that allows spoofing the location of an iOS or iPhoneSimulator device. The target audience of this project is developers who want to test their location service-based application. I do not encourage the use of this application to cheat in iOS games and I do not provide support for these games. If you use this application for any purpose outside of the intended, you are on your own.

ARKit uses camera and motion data to map out the local world as you move around. CoreLocation uses wifi and GPS data to determine your global location, with a low degree of accuracy. ARKit + CoreLocation combines the high accuracy of AR with the scale of GPS data. The potential for combining these technologies is huge, with so many potential applications across many different areas. Allow items to be placed within the AR world using real-world coordinates. Dramatically improved location accuracy, using recent location data points combined with knowledge about movement through the AR world. The improved location accuracy is currently in an “experimental” phase, but could be the most important component. The library and demo come with a bunch of additional features for configuration. It’s all fully documented to be sure to have a look around.
