in android, the GPS config file (some xml) file will do the trick of making the at least the GPS/Location system on the phone unreliable. Apparently each country has their own config file. Found this out when a friend used the Android bought in China in US. So no GPS is NOT reliable for critical situations, it is more a consumer connivence ATM.

Nope. It's maps in China that are unreliable. On purpose. https://www.serviceobjects.com/blog/why-gps-coordinates-look...
