Simulate GPS location
GPS Geolocation testing enables you to simulate the location of the device to specific GPS coordinates in order to test location-based scenarios for your app.
Use the GPS location capability as shown in the following code sinppets to specify the GPS coordinates. You will be required to pass the latitude and longitude of the desired location.
GPS location feature for app testing is only available with a BrowserStack Paid plan. View details .
If you are using BrowserStack SDK, you can set the following capability within the browserstack.yml file:
Capability
Description
Value
gpsLocationSimulate the location of the device to a specific GPS location.
Latitude followed by longitude
```yml
gpsLocation: -73.935242,40.730610
```

Copy
gpsLocation : -73.935242 , 40.730610
BrowserStack SDK is a plug-n-play solution that takes care of all the integration steps for you. Using the BrowserStack SDK is the recommended integration method for your project. To know more, visit the SDK core concepts page .
