I'm looking for a GPS app that tracks my movements but does not use the internet to update my movements on a map. I'm looking for something that just maps the movements by placing dots on a blank screen that I can view while I am moving. When I am done logging, it should be able to upload the logging file to my pc so I can load into Google Earth.
I want this type of app so it uses very little battery and does not hit the internet. I use to have a Blackberry Storm and they have an app called GPSlogger that did this and it worked great.
I have not been able to find any app that does this in the Android market.
Anyone know of something similar?
you would be better off getting a bluetooth track logger gps for 75. Gps in your phone will use 12+ percent an hour without data usage.
Google MyTracks may be your best bet..

Well, have a look at Locus.
- There are some settings to stay completly offline.
- If you don't want to use the internet on the go, you could also download maps on wifi and use them for offline use.
- It is able to connect to a bluetooth gps device without any 3rd-party-app.
- Recorded Tracks can be exported as *.kml and *.csv for later use on a desktop pc.
But if you just want to have the gps logging part, you'd better go for a real gps logger.
Anyone know of an android app that can be used when flying in a airline that tells me exactly where we are i.e like GPS location,
I flew with Virgin Airlines from UK to New York and they had location on their screens. Not really sure if its even possible to use this due to commercial airline regulations.
There are apps that will do what you want, but they need an active internet connection to function. I have Flightradar24 and that didn't function on the airplane.

Besides a basic GPS app with cached maps, like Locus? Not even sure what you're asking for here. You need no data if you have maps cached.

Open Google Maps before your flight and try to cache the desired areas between the two continents by just displaying it (scroll and browse maps over the imagined route). Google Maps then automatically downloads the data, albeit not in full resolution. While in plane you just enable GPS and open Gmaps, without an active connection it takes the cached data.
Download offline maps for the areas around airports on your trip if possible.
I use an app named “Weather”. Just a simple widget to provide location and temperature. The last month or so I have noticed the location to be very precise. Instead of providing location to the city or town level, it now provides location to the neighborhood level, even fairly small neighborhoods. I am curious if this change came from the app, Google location services, or my provider (AT&T) . I asked the same question to the app developer, but he never responded. So who made the change? Any ideas?

Android has always been able to provide location by GPS coordinates... Your app, or quite likely the actual weather service provider the app is using, has made a change to provide weather at a more localized level. Android itself does not provide neighborhood names, etc., only GPS coordinates and approximate accuracy of them to the app, what it does with them is it's own thing.

So does the cell tower provide any location name or info (besides GPS) to the OS?
I don't use GPS, only the Battery Saving location setting. The app "Weather" uses Weather Underground for its data services. But it makes sense that maybe Weather Underground is providing the location name.

Cell tower location and/or Google Location Services (WiFi based) creates psuedo GPS coordinates that are approximations of location, the names are being provided by the Weather service provider... Go to wunderground.com in a browser and put in your ZIP code, then click "Change station" and I bet you will find a correlation to the neighborhood names you are seeing.

It makes most sense that location comes from wunderground as my Google News app still shows location at the town/city level. But I am still confused as the neighborhoods listed are not listed in wunderground wunder map. Looking at Network Info map, cell towers seem to be located in these neighborhoods. I will be in a location a few hundred miles away this week. I will observe and see if I experience the same location detail and see how it lines up with wundermap and cell location.
@acejavelin
So do you think with WiFi enabled, the location is derived from WiFi hotspots even though a connection is not established?
This week I am in a location with very few wunderground locations. I am still getting precise location down to the neighborhood area. I don't even recognize the names, but when googling, I come across the street name or neighborhood name in my location that is nowhere near a wunderground station.

It can definitely come from WiFi, even if you turn it "off" it can see WiFi networks... that is how Google Location Services works, it uses the visible SSID's to approximate location from it's database (which comes from every Android user's device with Gapps), it uses the WiFi Positioning System.
How it's resolved to names is a mystery to me though... it appears my initial assumption was incorrect. Do the neighborhoods match up with http://wikimapia.com (like I know if you look at NYC you can see areas like Midwood, Flatlands, Mapleton, Flatbush, etc)?

I could not find some of the locations the phone identified. So far they all show up on Google Maps. I usually keep Bluetooth and WiFi on. I will experiment some with both off. I always keep scanning off.
I have been wondering a lot, and testing out different apps and functions to try and pin point what is it exactly that Niantic is tracking on Android, because of which they are able to shadowban spoofers on Android, but can't when the players on iOS do the exact same thing.
These are the things I tested:
1. Used magisk manager to hide root access, so Pokemon GO shouldn't be able to detect root access at all. If it would have detected, the game would have stopped working, so no guesses needed here.
2. Testing whether enabling Developer Options>Mock Locations is creating their red warning trigger. I have tested with both situations:
i) Developer Options>Mock Locations ON:
We can select a fake GPS app to use this feature, and spoof. The game works fine.
ii) Developer Options>Mock Locations OFF:
We can disable this feature, and use certain apps such as 'Fake GPS Pro', which has a 'root mode' in their settings menu, enabling us to spoof without mock locations.
3. Whether they are checking the if we have any fake gps app which is listed in the store, to spoof, by scanning our installed apps. For testing this, I used an app called 'Fake GPS Joystick' which has an inbuilt app cloner, thus allowing us to change the app name and install the same app again under a different package name, and then uninstall the original app.
4. Whether they are tracking the IP address to check whether the IP used at a particular geolocation during spoofing corresponds to the IP address of that particular country. I have used VPNs to alter my IP addresses(to match corresponding countries) when spoofing to different geolocations.
5. Whether a specified number of soft bans(by changing extremely distant locations in less than 2 hours) ultimately leads to a red warning shadowban. I have tried this process on both iOS and Android. I have shifted countries in less than 2 hours, causing the pokemons to flee, and pokestops to not work. Even after that, on iOS, no shadowban was triggered, but on Android, shadowban was triggered.
6. Whether they are checking in-game locations.. for example, if you are in Japan and move to Australia after 2 hours it is a red flag logically. This should be easy to track because all Pokemons that you catch have their catch location listed under it. If they track this, they can simply calculate the distance between the last activity and the next activity, but the game doesn't track this(different activities across different countries with a gap of 2 hours) because accounts doing this over and over again on iOS has triggered no ban.
7. Whether Android security patches have something to do with getting shadowbans. I have tried using 2017 and 2018 patches. In both situations, shadowban was noticed, so tracking using security patches seems irrelevant.
Off the top of my head, I have used these tests, individually, and also together, in both cases, all accounts have been shadowbanned on Android, but completely fine on iOS.
P.S. I don't care much for the game, but I am intrigued to know how the company tracks and imposes these bans.
If you have any info/comments, please help figure out their banning mechanism.
3. Whether they are checking the if we have any fake gps app which is listed in the store, to spoof, by scanning our installed apps. For testing this, I used an app called 'Fake GPS Joystick' which has an inbuilt app cloner, thus allowing us to change the app name and install the same app again under a different package name, and then uninstall the original app.

This can be explained by some low-level code they run to detect apps installed on your phone. In the iOS Sandbox, this is just not possible.
Please see below discord screenshot explaining this in more detail:
https://i.gyazo.com/6ecb41b2b30aa03b6a987c4e61083b73.png
LOL, pogo++ (iOS) just got owned harder than any Android punishment. Ironically, the person you quoted in that screenshot is a developer of that particular piece of software. Of course he's going to say that his solution is the best -- I'd do that too.
His solution hacks the Pokemon go app directly. Niantic has simply detected their changes, which is completely irrelevant to sandboxing protections as it's within their own app. It's MUCH easier to detect than an app/filesystem scan, and Niantic can be certain it's targeted at them (a spoofing app doesn't mean you're using it for Pokemon Go, which is why they've only asked to remove it without any further penalty back in Nov 2017 with the app blacklist).
All Niantic needs is one detection to sneak by the Pogo++'s attention and BAM, your L40 is gone.
You have tested very well but certain things you missed..
The ability of a Spoofing app to simulate Fake location matches That of Real Location?.. No in Android.. You can verify it by the Looking into Google maps and you'll spot a Lighter ring Around the Blue Dot of GPS that Ring should be larger which is equal When in Real location but the ring size decreases in Spoofing apps..
But in GPS joystick which I have been using Never gave me Any ban in past 11 months and my Main account has no Record of any bans. Because I disabled location services and moved the app to system by Root and lucky patcher
Greetings.
I'm trying to spoof Google Maps location sharing into showing a fake GPS position to the other party. I tried several fake GPS apps, and while they are running Google Maps shows the spoofed location, however - Location Sharing stops sharing and is frozen on the last (real) location that was shared before the spoofing started.
I'm open to any ideas how to achieve this.
Thanks.

I don't know if there is a better answer but maybe you can try a mock gps location app that constantly changes its location (with concomitant altitude changes) every few seconds?
The free gsf free google free ad free highly rated mock gps location app I use that has a setting for random motion (for example every 3 seconds it moves 30 feet from a given starting point) is Lexa (but I'm sure others exist that also will fake motion and altitude over time).
[Lexa] Fake GPS location
All you do is enable Developer Options and then set the "Default Mock Location App" to Lexa (or to whatever fake GPS location app you chose).
Here's what Google Play says about the Lexa fake-GPS location app.
Teleport your phone to any place in the world with two clicks! This app sets up fake GPS location so every other app in your phone belives you are there!Has Tasker support and can be started/stopped from command line (See FAQ for details)+++IMPORTANT+++Be aware that after using FakeGPS you may find your location LOCKED TO THE LAST MOCKED LOCATION EVENT AFTER UNINSTALL FakeGPS!It's not a bug and your GPS sensor isn't broken. There are two ways to fix this issue:1. Install "GPS Status" from the Play, launch and get a fresh GPS fix. You may need to repeat it several times with 30 min interval.2. Start FakeGPS, set your real location and leave it so for several hours.You may combine these steps. The issue will disappear in one or two days - be patient.For ROOTED devices you can mock locations without enabling "Allow mock locations" option. To do so please use Root Explorer or other similar app and move /data/app/ru.lexa.fakegps~1.apk to /system/priv-app or to /system/app (for Android 4.3 and older). Then change apk permissions to rw-r-r and reboot your device. If you find apk in /syste/priv-app disappears after reboot it means that your devices has S-ON mode enabled and so restores /system folder aftear each reboot. Please google how to switch your device to S-OFF mode.If you can't find ru.lexa.fakegps.apk in /data/app you may find it at /mnt/asec/ru.lexa.fakegps/1.apk. In this case you should copy and rename it to /system/priv-app/ru.lexa.fakegps.apk.

Even though I'm normally set up with my Location radios off, I like trhat this app can startup at boot and run constantly (whether my Android Location is on or off).
If any app asks for Location (such as Wi-Fi debuggers), then I let them get the fake location. But if I need the real location, I just open up the fake location app and press the "Pause" button.
When I'm done needing my real location, I just open up the fake location app and press the "Play" button to start it up again. (Of course, that jumps to the fake location, and randomly moves from there, so it's not perfect.)
There's also the FOSS ad free app named "Private Location" which seems to have a bit less functionality (but perhaps more privacy?)
F-Droid Private Location
GitHub Private Location

The one I use does that I think (you can set the update period if 3 seconds and 30 feet is too fast or too slow for you, I think).

The others are looking for similar problems and will be able to find hints
I can suggest to use XPrivacyLua and define of fake lacation for Maps or define correct location but with predefined (meters) inaccuracy.
Just use GPS Emulator. I use it all the time.
The application icon is green with a black hat on it.

I agree. I feel it's better to add to an existing question than it is to create the exact same question as a separate thread. It's easier for people who search to find the answers and for others to add better or more detailed solutions.

Also, sometimes an app name isn't unique, or, it has multiple locations, so I always strive to add a link to the app so that the person searching has an easier time finding the suggested solutions.
To that end, here are the three fake-gps apps with spoofing of location movement (with concomitant altitude changes) that were suggested (in the order they were suggested).
Fake GPS Location, by Lexa (free, no ads, no gsf, rating 4.6)
XPrivacyLua, by Marcel Bokhorst (free, no ads, no gsf, no rating, needs rooting)
GPS Emulator, by RosTeam (free, has ads, requires gsf, rating 4.6)
I'm not sure if I found the correct links, particularly for XPrivacyLua which seems to need rooting and which also has a lot of links that point to different aspects of the program.
XPrivacyLua on Google Play
XPrivacyLua on GitHub
XPrivacyLua on xda
XPrivacyLua on Xposed
XPrivacyLua on FairCode
If others can confirm or correct the links above, everyone else will instantly benefit who search for and find this answer.
