Note that GPS repeaters are not too popular with neighbours since they can affect the GPS reception for people outside the effective working range.

... they are illegal in the UK, as Oliver stated.

Often not illegal in shielded room.

If that isn't allowed either, then that obviously means that the remaining alternatives are to use an outdoor (or close-to-window) antenna if the device supports external antennas, or go for the shielded-room alternative with a simulator.

The big difference here is that a GPS repeater is normally quite cheap compared to a GPS simulator. If the regulations requires it, then the cost of a shielded room is the same for both a simulator or a repeater.
