Are you asking how to deliberately mislead whomever you are sharing your location with?


I don't believe that the system is designed to support that. You can choose to share your location, in which case the system will share what it believes to be your location. (It may not be completely accurate, but it will be the system's "best guess".). Or you can choose not to share your location.


But you cannot choose to make your Mom think that your phone is "at home" (where your Mac is) – if your phone is really with you, many miles away.
