If you ever build your iOS app using GPS, you probably experienced the difficulty of debugging it on the desk.
Unless testing your app in outdoor field, you can not realize unstable behavior of GPS, Cell-tower and WiFi.
Your fitness app draw your running route on the map exactly ?
Your travel app get correct information while you are walking around ?
These apps need moving-around-test in outdoor many times.
For such case, iOS simulator has location-simulation debug feature.
But that simulation is not good enouth, because it is NOT real information.
Playback real GPS movement
GPS signal jumps from entrance to exit of tunnel, for example.
GeoPlayer can record such unusual behaviors and can playback them.
These recording data will be very important debug resource for your job on the desk.
Playback GPX data
GeoPlayer playbacks GPX data and playback speed is same as recording speed.
If you have marathon data of three-hour-finisher in iPhone(A), you can playback it in three hours and send location information of each second to iPhone(B) via Bluetooth.
iPhone(B) receives that location information and act as if running that marathon right now. You can debug your GPS app in iPhone(B) using information from iPhone(A) like this.
Playback motion data
Also GeoPlayer can send motion information to iPhone(B). When using iPhone with M7 processor, GeoPlayer can record location and motion data at the same time. Motion data are activities like walking, running or stopping.
Geo fence debugging
Using GeoPlayer and GeoFake framework, you can test your GeoFence app on the desk.
Precise simulation in manual mode
GeoPlayer has manual operation mode. When you move GeoPlayer’s map with your finger, the map of iPhone(B) will follow your finger movement. So, you can simulate location precisely while debugging.
