| The ``3`` in the above constraint references accuracy, the fourth space-separated value in the `geopoint data type <https://getodk.github.io/xforms-spec/#data-types>`_. The `selected-at` function uses 0-based indexing so you can use ``0`` to reference latitude, ``1`` for longitude, and ``2`` for altitude. | ||
| If you rely on mock locations, keep in mind that only GPS can be spoofed. The system may still retrieve real location data from WI-FI or cellular networks, which can override the mock location and as a result, deliver a mix of real and fake location data. To avoid this, go to ``Android Settings`` > ``Location`` and turn off ``Improve location accuracy``. This forces the device to use only GPS, ensuring your mock location is applied consistently. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this tip should be placed in Mock location providers and external GPS devices not in Geopoint widget as it's not limited to Geopoint widget and can also work in the same way in geotrace/geoshape.
