Pokemon Go opinions on spoofing and do you class it as cheating?

Pokemon Go is a location-based augmented reality game, the game uses the GPS ability of a mobile or tablet to locate Pokemon along with other features. Unlike most games the user has to physically move in the real world to play the game.
However there are people who have got round this with GPS spoofing, this basically allowed them to go wherever they want whenever they want without physically moving at all.
I personally think this is cheating and it is unfair on people who play by physically going the distances.
However I would over look this in some circumstances such as a sick child unable to go out but still wanting to play.
I feel that others who are able and have no other excuse should do it but ultimately they are cheating themselves.

There are many warnings on the game to pay attention while playing and don't play while driving ect. I don't think it's the games fault but more of the user.
I think it's good the game has got people to actually go outside and get more healthy.
Just with everything in life a few people shouldn't ruin it for the rest.

Pokemon Go in your country only lasted for 2 mos. It's exciting after all. No PvP and the thing is you gonna walk and go to location to catch one em all

Well I'm up to level 29 playing the right way. And I only play a little bit here and there during this season. It was fun in the fall to walk all over though. I'm pretty sure people are cheating in this area. I see gyms go down but no one is even close to them.
