GPS looks OK
No clear mismatch was found. Correction is not needed right now. This checks the available data; it is not an absolute guarantee.
GPS LOST OR YOUR LOCATION SPOOFED?
Navigate even without GPS.
Using network location.
You are in Israel, but the map shows Beirut airport in Lebanon? When GPS is unavailable or appears spoofed, NoGpsNavigator can keep navigating using a recent fallback location from the cellular network or Wi-Fi. It can also share that position with other navigation apps.

From download to your first launch
Set things up while your vehicle is parked. You do not need technical experience to get started.
Download and open the file
Tap the download button on your Android phone. Once it finishes, open the file from the notification or your Downloads folder. Its name ends in .apk.
Confirm installation in Android
If Android asks for permission for your browser, open the settings it offers and enable “Allow from this source”. Go back and tap “Install”. If the app is already installed, choose “Update” — there is no need to uninstall it.
Open and allow precise location
Open NoGpsNavigator and allow precise location access. Keep the phone’s Location setting on. Allow notifications when prompted so you can see when protection is running in the background.
Wait for your location dot
Protection starts automatically when location is enabled and permission is granted. Wait for your map dot and the check result. The button at the top changes the app language.
Already on version 1.0.0? This is a revised build with the same version number. Install it over your existing app; the update check will not offer it as a newer version.
Has GPS “sent” you to Beirut airport?
For example, you are in Israel but the map shows Beirut airport. This illustrates an incorrect position, not a real move. Stop somewhere safe, open NoGpsNavigator and compare “GPS signal” with “Network · backup”. Network location is an estimate: check its accuracy and your surroundings too.
Understand the status at a glance
Suspicious GPS or waiting
Read the explanation below the heading. Data may be inaccurate, or a recent fallback location may be unavailable. Do not follow an implausible map dot.
Publishing fallback position
Correction is currently sending a fallback position to Android. How Waze or Google Maps use it also depends on those apps.

Prefer to use Waze or Google Maps?
This is a separate feature, initially switched off. You can skip this setup if you only navigate inside NoGpsNavigator.
Open Developer options
On Samsung: Settings › About phone › Software information › Build number. Tap Build number 7 times and enter your phone’s unlock code if asked. On Pixel: Settings › About phone › Build number. Menu names vary by phone.
Choose the mock location app
Return to Settings and find “Developer options”. Open “Select mock location app” and choose NoGpsNavigator. You do not need to enable USB debugging.
Enable location sharing
Return to NoGpsNavigator › Settings › “Correction for other apps”. Enable “Share fallback location with other apps”. “Set up location correction” provides additional help.
Read the status
An enabled switch does not mean a position is being sent. Sharing starts when GPS has a problem and a recent fallback location is available. Waiting is normal when GPS is healthy. If no fallback position is available, wait and check your network connection. If the fallback position expires during correction, output pauses: old coordinates are not presented as new, and suspect GPS stays blocked until correction is disabled.
Open your usual navigation app
Keep protection running in the background and open Waze or Google Maps. Before driving, check that the dot matches your location. Android labels these coordinates as test locations, so some apps may reject them.

What works without the internet?
MapLibre can save maps of places you have visited. Download them ahead of time while online. A saved map does not save Yandex routes: Yandex, address search and new route calculations require a connection. Network-based fallback location is not guaranteed without network services either.
Still have a question?
I cannot see my location
Check that phone location is on and NoGpsNavigator has precise location permission. Open the app and wait. Without usable GPS or a recent network position, a reliable location may be unavailable.
Why is location sharing waiting?
Healthy GPS does not need replacing. If GPS is unreliable but there is no recent network position, the app waits for data. Read the full message rather than relying on its colour.
Waze still shows the wrong place
Check that NoGpsNavigator is selected as the mock location app, its sharing switch is on, and its status says it is publishing a position. Reopen your navigator. If it rejects the position, acceptance cannot be guaranteed; check the map inside NoGpsNavigator.
What happens when I minimise the app?
Protection can keep running with a background notification. Your phone may restrict background activity. Reopen NoGpsNavigator after restarting the phone. Returning from the background does not trigger another update check.
How do I get future updates?
Check for updates in app settings or return to this page. Android still asks you to confirm installation. You do not need to uninstall the previous version.
