Steve is correct that you can't do something even this simple on iOS.

And yet, it's extremely useful for anyone, even as nospam would say it's
  *not needed*   &    *not wanted*
Simply because Apple doesn't have the technical knowhow to implement it.

In fact, this native GPS location spoofing can be used whenever a program 
or web site "thinks" it needs your location - where I use it mostly because 
some programs require GPS location when they don't actually "need" it.

For example, graphical Wi-Fi & cellular debuggers "require" your GPS radio 
to be on, but you know where you are - so they don't actually "need" it.

But you have to give them your location - so - you spoof it. Here's how:
 1. Download a mock-location app
 2. Turn on Developer options
 3. Set the mock-location app
 4. Run the app

The mock-location app I use most is Lexa but there are many to choose from.
I chose Lexa as the Skyica App Finder lists it as the best rated, but other
apps will spoof Wi-Fi providers too, and other apps will move along a road, 
etc., which I found when I tested every Android fake-GPS app a while ago.
