How to Install a GPS Phone Using Cydia
Jailbroken iPhones have been unlocked from iTunes and can install software from the independent Cydia app store. This software isn't required to pass through Apple's approvals process, so often contains functions and operations that are otherwise prohibited on the App Store. This includes emulators, such as the GPS Phone app -- officially written as "gpSPhone" -- which mimic the hardware of older gaming systems. GpSPhone is a Game Boy Advance emulator, mimicking the handheld Nintendo console on your iOS device.
