Bluetooth GPS: Enabling Android Mock Location (Samsung)
Depending on the app Android devices require a “mock location provider” such that they can use an external Bluetooth GPS device instead of the internal GPS. In order to enable mock location, follow the instructions below on your Android phone or tablet. You will not have to repeat the process on this device unless it is reset.
Mock location app and Developer options:
Download one of our recommended mock location provider apps: GPS Connector, NTRIP Client, or Bluetooth GNSS.
On your Android phone or tablet, navigate to Settings > About Phone/Tablet > Software information then repeatedly tap “Build number” (7 or more times) until your phone or tablet confirms with a message similar to “You are now a Developer”.
Under the main settings will now see Developer options.
Now that developer options are enabled, choose your preferred app as your mock location source,
by navigating to Settings > Developer options > Select mock location app and select a mock location
app: GPS Connector, NTRIP Client, or Bluetooth GNSS.
