Set custom GPS marker position

[balloni55]

Hello menion
neither reading manual nor from playing arrond i´m able to understand function or use case of this feature please describe it a little bit more for me ...

and BTW, german translation in manual should be revised
- missing one letter and a word in this part
- some unneeded code

[balloni55]

Hello menion
any answer about this?

[Menion]

Good day balloni,
sorry, I missed this topic.

This function, isn't is this one: https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/flexible_map_center ?

[balloni55]

Thanks, now i got it

i thought and hoped this funktion is like a "fake GPS" position

please don´t forget to revice the german manual

[Menion]

Ah manual ... @Michal?

And "fake GPS" ... what you expect from this? App already allows some kind of simulation over NMEA and some "indoor training".

[balloni55]

thanks, i am aware of feature "NMEA simulation"

And "fake GPS" ... what you expect from this?

while programming a wherigo cache i need to simulate function at home.
So i´ve recorded single tracks with NMEA info between each zone of the wherigo for simulation.
Simulation work well
But app WhereYouGo alway use GPS values, or if GPS is switched off, last known position and not GPS values from NMEA simulation.

[Menion]

Hmm this is little bit different functionality.
I played with it a little and was a success with creating the feature, that NMEA location from simulation will be a global location ("mock" location) used in the whole system. So I now start NMEA simulation and Google Maps now start using it as the location source. Hmm quite a dangerous function I think ... anyway, this should be something you need for your Wherigo tests right?

[balloni55]

Thanks for your effort
so i´ll wait on next update 

and Google Maps now start using it as the location source

for now i didn´t understand this sentence

Hello menion
i can´t get it work with
Beta version 3.37.2.9
further advice needed...

[Menion]

Hello balloni, sorry I did not describe it in my previous answer correctly.

Based on my "Hmm quite a dangerous function I think" and also the fact, that it seems not to work yet 100% correctly, I decided not to put it into public version, sorry. So if you need to use some kind of simulation, use your existing tested method. Thanks for understanding.
