I use Location Spoofer on my EVO to watch blacked out content based on location and other things. One thing I noticed is that it appears that Sprint Family locator doesn't use the same location data as google maps and ect. Is there any way to spoof the data SFL uses?
I dont think so. Sprint Locator uses the gps signal, whereas those other programs just use your approximate network location based on tower triangualtion.
There are a lot of settings for location, and I'm not sure what each one does . Can someone explain them to me please, and what each one would be needed for?
Here's a very in depth explanation, hope it helps

Credit to torgo on the Verizon wireless forum:
1. VZW Location Services: *Uses Verizon cell towers to triangulate your position, pretty accurate.
2. GPS: *Uses GPS satellites, should be most accurate but in my experience isn't very reliable unless you're outside.
3. Google Location Services: *Uses a combination of IP address and wi-fi access points to determine your location. *Least accurate, but usually reasonably close
*------------
The Google location access toggle is to allow Google apps to access the information provided by location services (so things like maps and navigation work).
My phone cannot get my current location.
I turned on the GPS and Wifi. At location setting, I ticked "Google's location service", "GPS satellites" and "Location & Google search". The location service still does not work. It keeps on notifying me that "Your location is temporarily unavailable". Please help.
I tried to force enable Google Now with various methods found on this forum to no avail. After going through all the hoops I still find the frustrating message "Google Now requires location services which are not available" and "Location Reporting: Not available in Sudan".
Quoting from Google support:
"Location Reporting will only use cell ID or Wi-Fi location detection depending on your device."
Is there a way to spoof cell ID or Wi-Fi location to make it think I'm in another country?
This is a weird issue, if you select battery saver as the method for location services it will not work unless you have wifi on or scanning on. Battery saver users WiFi and mobile networks to determine location. On my other phones I didn't need wifi on as it would user my mobile data to give my location. Not looking for an accurate location just something close so I can receive weather alerts or traffic reports
Sorry that I am not clear what you mean "select battery saver as the method for location services". My location service works fine even if I have disabled WLAN when I have a walk every evening.
