For android 4.x -
1. Enable developer mode by going to Settings->About Phone and clicking on the build number seven times.
2. Now go to Settings->Developer Options and click on "Allow mock locations"
3. Get an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.gavrikov.mocklocations , which will allow you to "fake" your GPS location.
4. Set your location to somewhere not near a school.
5. Open and use yikyak without this issue anymore.
Hope this helps, I'm not sure about apple products.
Smart thinking. My parents wanted me to get a mobile phone, but I refused since I don't need one.
Initially, I was thinking that finding ways for youth to remove this software would be helpful - but then, parents would realise that they weren't getting any location data and would punish their youth.
Faking a location path sounds like it might be a better solution. I haven't tried them, but it seems that this Android app and this iOS app might be able to do that.
Of course, "forgetting" your mobile phone when you go out might also work occasionally.
Hint hint, If you're on Android, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.gavrikov.mocklocations download this, go into the developer settings and select this as your 'mock location app' and do whatever you want.

Set a start and end point and a speed and it'll do the rest. Not sure if Pokémon Go can detect it or not. I don't play the game. You have to allow mock locations in Android settings.
Offhand, Mock Locations let's you pick your altitude along with a +/- setting, so that you don't just stay locked at any given altitude. I believe there's another app that automatically uses the correct altitude, but I don't recall which off the top of my head.
What I do is create a route in google maps, convert it to a gpx format (https://mapstogpx.com/) and use an app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.gavrikov.mocklocations&hl=en) that will load the gpx file and simulate the route. It works well, but the android app has 2 weeks trial and you need to buy it to continue using.
You have no idea how spoofing works. You should play with some of the fake GPS locations apps just so that you have an idea of what your talking about. Turn on mock locations and install this- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.gavrikov.mocklocations&hl=en
Stopping cheaters is not an easy task. For every paid programmer on the ingress team their are thousands of people with virtually unlimited time to find ways around it. Any system to restrictive bans legitimate users.
Blocking rooted phones will temporarily take out a lot of the cheaters but not all of them. The cheaters will adapt and be back.
After playing around with FakeGPS, I decided to try out another app to spoof the locations. The app that I ended up with was Mock Location. With it, I was able to set it to run a path that I set up and it fixed other issues that I was having with FakeGPS like losing sync with GPS causing me to have to restart the phone to get GPS working again. I basically did the same process as I did originally when spoofing and installed it as a system app. The best thing I like about the app is that I can save the different routes (with the paid app or spoofing license) and load them up whenever. I think it makes it look more believable than just going to random points in a circle.
On android, Mock Locations can set a path and variable speed in km/h, like 100+-10. It also has options to park at the endpoint, follow roads, don't travel perfectly straight, and slow down for corners, all of which make it appear more natural. 100 - 120 km/hr is pretty reasonable between cities, at ~62-75mph.
If you set the start and endpoint near each other, you can set it to loop the path endlessly. If you set it to walking mode it'll follow walking trails and such, instead of just roads.
For me i use the Mock location hider app in xposed and i use this app to plot an imaginary path so it seems I'm walking or driving.
This app not the xposed module https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.gavrikov.mocklocations
Use mock location. It allows you to set a route. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.gavrikov.mocklocations (Im not the developer)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.gavrikov.mocklocations you can set your own routes with this one.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.gavrikov.mocklocations&hl=en
This one does routes.
Think it would be possible to get a fake path, like this app does?

your 2nd link isn't complete.
edit
nvm I found it

If you are using LineageOS and want only open source apps, then use this https://f-droid.org/en/packages/cl.coders.faketraveler/
If you are just using stock android and don’t care about open source and are alright paying a few bucks, then check this app out, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.gavrikov.mocklocations&hl=en
The first app will let you set a single gps location, which means you essentially can set it to your desk and it will just show you at your desk all the time.
The second app has more features but it’s also a paid app. It will allow you spoof a custom gps path. So not just a single location.
Meine Erfahrung: Es Spielt sich wesentlich leichter mit:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.gavrikov.mocklocations&hl=en
und

Root und Xposed Framework muss natürlich auch vorhanden sein.
