GPS spoofing occurs whenever someone employs a radio signal to broadcast a fake GPS location to a receiving antenna to oppose a valid GPS satellite signal.
GPS spoofing aims to allow people to hide their valid location from potentially malicious actors. For example, security experts can utilize GPS spoofing to protect high-profile individuals or valuable items. In addition, this technique can help smartphone users disguise their location and secure their anonymity by installing free GPS spoofing apps.
A satellite transmitter imitates GPS transmissions at a higher signal intensity than the simple system can manage, substituting accurate GPS signals with a fake signal in a GPS spoofing assault.
