The SaaS platform comprises a simulator and a client connected to a server through a network. The simulator receives location data corresponding to one or more geo-locations, and a user motion data corresponding to a user motion associated with one or more geo-locations. The simulator acquires a geo-simulation data corresponding to the geo-locations. The simulator processes the geo-simulation data, and the user motion data to simulate the geo-location for the user motion. Furthermore, the simulated geo-location is provided for testing the location based application. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system implementing a geo-location simulation testing of an application, wherein said system is configured with a simulator, a server and comprises of: server hardware and a software as a service (SaaS) platform, which is connected to said simulator through a network for implementing said geo-location simulation testing of said application; a user interface to receive a plurality of input parameters from a user through said SaaS platform, wherein said plurality of input parameters comprise at least a motion type, a speed, and a geological area; a client application interacting with the following components: said user interface to receive said plurality of input parameters from said user; and said simulator for processing the input parameters along with geo-simulation data from at least one 3rd party location based application;
