Could you build this?

Partial A web interface for picking coordinates is trivial, but spoofing Apple's proprietary WLOC location protocols requires deep MITM proxy scripting and reverse engineering of Apple Location Services network payloads.

What it would actually take: The stack uses a web UI coupled with JavaScript rewrite rules running inside proxy clients like Surge, Shadowrocket, or Loon. The complex aspect is decrypting and rewriting Apple's proprietary Protobuf/binary network payloads sent to gs-loc.apple.com to spoof Wi-Fi/cellular geolocation lookup responses without crashing system daemons.
