How to Fake your Location in Google Chrome

Sometimes websites may request access to your location so that they can serve more relevant information. 
For instance, if you are looking for a Petrol Pump station, a maps website may use your current geographic location to display stations that are near your place.

Google Chrome will only share your location if you click Allow.

Fake your Geolocation Coordinates
When you visit a location-aware website, the browser will always ask for a confirmation before sharing your location. If you aren't keen to share your geographic coordinates, you can always deny that request or, if you are using Google Chrome, you can even send a fake location to the website.

Here’s how to do that. Press F12 (or Ctrl + Shift + I) in Google Chrome to open the Developer Tools. Click the Settings icon in the lower right corner and switch to the Overrides tab. Now you can specify the exact latitude and longitude coordinates* that you want to share with that website.


* You can use the Postal Address finder to know the latitude and location of a place.
Make sure that the “Override Geo location” setting is checked and then refresh the page to send that fake location. And this is obviously a useful feature for web developers who would like to test their geolocation-enabled apps from the same location.
