fakegps's Issues

can't get installed on Windows 64 bit system

I get a message saying
" The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
So it can't get installed on Windows 64 bit system. Any solution? Can you compile it in Window 10 64 bit system?

doesn't work on x64 system

after downloading the fakegps-master.zip and extracting the folder i set test signing to on and proceeded to device manager. Actions>Add Legacy Hardware>Install Hardware I select Manually From a List>Sensors>Have Disk...; Browse...>...src/FakeGPS.Driver>OK; then it displays a message that reads
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."

Registry is stored under UNKNOWN key

The registry settings are currently stored under:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\UNKNOWN

Would be better to replace this UNKNOWN key with something that better reflects the name of the driver.

Trouble during instalation

details of the procedure :

  • switched to test mode ( bcdedit /set testsigning on) and reboot
  • device manager > add legacy hardware > manually install hardware from list > Sensors > Have Disk
  • I select the file : \src\FakeGPS.Driver\FakeGPS.inf
  • then It prompt me the following :
    errorgps

Did I miss something ? What is wrong with this procedure ?

notes:

  • using windows 10 64bits
  • I tried with the branch master and with version 1.0.0-alpha2, same result.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Set location failed with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.
Version: v1.0.0-alpha2 .
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit .
The driver was installed successfully and get location also worked, but set location failed.

Older Windows

Any reason this cannot work on Windows 7 or 8? Getting "Parameter is incorrect" error during installation.

NOT MAINTAINED / MAINTAINER WANTED

At time of writing this code has't been updated in around 3 years, and I haven't used it for most of that time.

While I'm sure this might be useful for some peope, I am not setup to maintain it right now.

Feel free to hack it to your needs! Good luck!

Object reference error when unknown devices in registry

I get "Object reference not set" to an instance of an object error on SurfacePro (Win10, 64bit).
Probably, because in registry: UNKNOWN\0000 I have another device and fakeGPS is under UNKNOWN\004.
Two unknown devices were added when i was installing FakeGPS.

Improve documentation

A number of users seem to have difficulty in installing the device with the provided instructions.

This issue is to help track improved instructions - here's an initial step-by-step by @supra63200 to get us started.

  • type bcdedit /set testsigning on in a Powershell (Right click on bottm-left corner Windows icon and then click on Windows PowerShell)
  • Reboot the computer
  • Open device manager (Right click on the Windows icon again and then on Device Manager)
  • Click on the computer (First element of the list)
  • Click Add legacy Hardware in Action Menu
  • Click Next
  • Select install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) and click Next
  • Click Next again
  • Click on "Have Disk" and then "Browse" and select the FakeGPS.inf from the extracted release archive (in "x64 driver" folder)
  • On page "ready to install click Next
  • Wait for the installation to complete
  • Click on Finish
  • Activate the driver:
    • By rebooting the computer
    • By Disabling the driver and re-enabling it again in the Device Manager(Right click on "FakeGPS Sensor and click Disable/Enable Device)
  • Open a PowerShell and navigate to the FakeGPS.exe folder (In the root of the extracted archive)
  • Use it by typing .\FakeGPS.exe -g or .\FakeGPS -s lat,long (ex: 1.2,3.4)

Error : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

On my Windows 10, build: 15063.674 (x64) I got the following error !!!!

C:\Users\ListOfFreeware\Downloads\FakeGPS-v1.0.0-alpha2>FakeGPS -s 25,75
ZOMG, we got this error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Send feedback plz!

Any idea how to fix it ?

"Input string was not in a correct format" error

This works :

$ ./FakeGPS -s 50,63
The following location has been set in the driver's registry settings:
Lat:    50
Long:   63

This doesn't :

$ ./FakeGPS -s 50.0,63
ZOMG, we got this error:
Input string was not in a correct format.
Send feedback plz!

So here is my feedback :)

After loking into the code in GeolocationHelper.cs I can see that the regexp went ok but it crash on the Convert.ToDouble method call throwing a FormatException.

After a few digging I found that :
windows 10 parameter > Region >Additionnal Settings >Number > and changed the decimal symbol seprator to "." (from ",")

It fixed the problem, I am in French number format setting, and the lovely Convert.ToDouble method seems to use it.

Two different ideas to solve this (to avoid being dependant of locals) :

  • force convert.toDouble to use "." as seprator in any case.
  • use only integer, where 51.51786,-0.102216 become 5151786 102216 as arguments

Device does not start up first time

The device driver does not start properly for the first time after install, and may bring up an error message.

If you disable the device and then enable it again it will work properly.

Error while selecting the FakeGPS.inf

Hi.
So I am getting this error while trying to add the new drivers (Add Legacy Drivers). I select the option "Have a disk" and when I select the file to install drivers (FakeGPS.inf) - it gives me this error, please see attached. I cannot go any further.

I am using the latest version of Windows 10 x64.
