Activate mock location

• switch on "Set Mock Location" in the GPS-Connector app settings and
  optionally set the desired "mock height" to orthometric or ellipsoidal
• Select the "mock location app" in the Android developer options as well
  Android12::Settings > System > Developer options > scroll down to "mock location app"
  >> now select the "GPS Connector" app
  >> or simply tap on "Developer options" on the settings screen
• if you don't see the developer options on your smartphone, just activate them:
  it depends on the Android OS version of your phone how to activate the developer options, e.g.:
  Android V11/V12: Settings > About phone > Build number (click 7 times on the "Build number" text)

To check if the mock-location feature works just set "Simulation" as "GNSS Input" in settings and switch to Google Maps.
The location should jump now between different cities, like Munich, Berlin, Paris, etc.
