   On a real device? You can't do this.   
      
   With an Android emulator you can spoof any location you want for the   
   apps. But this is only possible because the emulator is controlled by   
   the host PC. On a real device you would need to fake the database which   
   is used to derive the location based on the Wi-Fi SSID(s) the device can   
   see.

   No, it is not "GPS location" it is really just the location of the Wi-Fi   
   access point which Google recorder earlier when other devices had GPS   
   *and* Wi-Fi active and the users allowed Google to use that data in the   
   device settings (maybe this is even the default, I am not sure).

   You can't.
