iTools Virtual Location is a GPS spoofing solution used by many people to manipulate their GPS location, allowing access to geo-restricted content. For a long time, it was a reliable solution for playing Pokémon Go and other applications requiring location manipulation.

iTools Virtual Location Stuck at Developer Mode

This is perhaps the most commonly reported problem. When iTools is stuck in developer mode, you are unable to complete the process of faking your GPS location. iTools has already fixed this problem and if you are still facing this issue, you may be using an outdated version of iTools. Therefore, to solve the problem of iTools being stuck in developer mode, try updating the software to see if the issue is resolved.

iTools Virtual Location Map Not Loading

Some users have reported that iTools fails to load the map on their system, even when their computer has a stable internet connection. This problem can occur when iTools is unable to establish a secure connection with the Google Map API and can happen anytime, even when using iTools for the first time.

The simplest way to fix this problem is to restart iTools, check your internet connection, and start the GPS spoofing process from the beginning. If it still fails, try switching to satellite map view by clicking on the satellite button located at the top left corner of the screen. Many users have found this option very helpful.

iTools Virtual Location No Device Connected

iTools might prompt a "No device connected" error despite that you have connected your device to the computer. To troubleshoot this error:

  • If you are connecting your device to the computer for the first time, remember to tap "Trust" on the device when it prompts for authorization.

  • Ensure you have downloaded the latest version of iTools.

For any other problems, you can contact iTools customer support for solutions.
