Geode GNS3 Real-Time Sub-Meter GPS Receiver
Enable Developer Options in the Android OS
Changing the mock location provider is a developer option.
All developer options in Android are disabled and hidden
by default. The first thing you have to do is tell Android that
you are a developer:
1. From the Android home page, go to Settings > About
phone (or About Tablet).
2. Tap Build Number seven (yes, seven) times. This will
unlock the Developer options.
Note: Build Number may not look like you can tap on it.
Tap on it anyway. After three taps, Android will prompt you
to continue becoming a developer.
Once you are a developer, close the Android settings and
open Geode Connect.
Configure Geode Connect as a Mock Location Provider
In order for the data received by the Geode to replace the
data being received by the device’s GPS receiver, you will
need to set up Geode Connect as a mock location provider:
1. In Geode Connect, go to Menu > Preferences.
2. Select the box for Enable Mock Location Provider.
Geode Connect will prompt you to open Developer Options.
3. Tap OK.
