[Dev-Mode request] "Fake" GPS locatoins / Mock Locations
asked 2014-05-11 14:45:25 +0300
Hi all,
i would like to see something like Android´s "Mock Locations" for the developer mode. http://developer.android.com/training/location/location-testing.html
It would be nice to be able to change the longitude and latitude on the go.
Hi DerJott, thanks for bringing this up :) However, I'm suggesting this as a duplicate with https://together.jolla.com/question/1876/bluetooth-gps-support/ (close enough?)
simo ( 2014-05-11 14:49:37 +0300 )Not exactly. A bluetooth GPS device is still a "local" GPS transmitter. What i´m asking for is a software-side solution where you can set up your location directly from the dev mode.
DerJott ( 2014-05-11 15:26:59 +0300 )You might be right with that, however most Bluetooth drivers take advantage of the same method (Phone needs to accept a mock location which is received from the external device)
simo ( 2014-05-11 15:58:34 +0300 )Not actually a duplicate, but seems to be included in this request for the possibility to set location manually. I wouldn't restrict this feature to developer mode, anyway.
tokaru ( 2014-05-11 21:26:45 +0300 )Yes, it´s mostly the same, you´re right. Hope to get this feature implemented in upcoming releases...
