How do I artificially change the location of Nomad mobile for demo purpose?

In nomad client for mobile, enter into the settings pannel and localise the "LocationService" section.

Location configuration is a root configuration section, it must be defined at the same level as ConfigurationServer section

  "ConfigurationServer": {
  ...
  },
  "LocationService": {
    "PostBaseUrl": "https://xxx.azurewebsites.net/api/",
    "SubscriptionUrl": "wss://xxxxx.azurewebsites.net/events",
    "Sensor": {
      "Mode": "System",
      "Periodicity": 2000,
      "Origin": { "Latitude": 50.443463467183594, "Longitude": 5.5132011795043945 },
      "Default": { "Latitude": 50.945041, "Longitude": 5.476057 },
      "Shift": { "Latitude": -0.009665, "Longitude": 0.104166 },
      "Route": [
        { "Latitude": 50.645941, "Longitude": 5.576857 },
        { "Latitude": 50.685009, "Longitude": 5.575986 },
        { "Latitude": 50.344855, "Longitude": 5.175986 }
      ]
    } 
  }

• PostBaseUrl: optional, this is the URL of Location Azure Function where Nomad POST its location. Default is built using authenticated user domain https://locationapi.{user-domain}/api/
• SubscriptionUrl: optional, this is the URL of Location Event Dispatcher. Default is built using authenticated user domain wss://locationevents.{user-domain}/events/.
• Sensor: optional, section describing how Nomad gather/generate location data, see following section for more details

Location Sensor Configuration

For demonstration purpose, location sensor can be configured to generate predefined or random device movings

• Mode optional, defines the sensor behavior and can take the following values:
  • System is the default value and relies on device capabilities to compute geolocation data
  • Route allows to configure a predefined sequence of points to simulate the device moving along a meaning full route. This might be useful for GoeFencing feature demonstration
  • Random generates random movings from a defined origin
  • Steady keeps a steady position

System

    "Sensor": {
      "Mode": "System",
      "Periodicity": 2000,
      "Default": { "Latitude": 50.145041, "Longitude": 5.576057 },
      "Shift": { "Latitude": -0.118665, "Longitude": 0.034166 }
    }

• Periodicity is the number of milliseconds Nomad lets between two location refreshing, default is 10.000 ms
• Default is the default location to be used when Nomad fails to gather effective location, this setting is overriden by Profile default location set in CAS Console (when set). There is no default value for "Default location" setting :)
• Shift is an offset applied on real location to provide kind of privacy protection. There is no default shift, meaning real location is effectively used.

Route

    "Sensor": {
      "Mode": "Route",
      "Periodicity": 2000,
      "Route": [
        { "Latitude": 50.245041, "Longitude": 5.576057 },
        { "Latitude": 50.945009, "Longitude": 5.375886 },
        { "Latitude": 50.744855, "Longitude": 5.175986 }
      ]
    }

• Periodicity is the number of milliseconds Nomad lets between two location refreshing, default is 3.000 ms
• Route is an array of locations defining the route device is moving on. When Nomad reach the end of array it starts back from begging allowing to simulate infinite circular routes. There is no default route.

Tip: https://gpx.studio/ allows you to easily generate GPX files witin few clicks on a map. With few more clicks in any descent text editor, you can easily convert GPX in an array of locations and use in your route configuration :)

Random

    "Sensor": {
      "Mode": "Random",
      "Periodicity": 2000,
      "Origin": { "Latitude": 50.243463467183594, "Longitude": 5.7732011795043945 }
    }

• Periodicity is the number of milliseconds Nomad lets between two location refreshing, default is 5.000 ms
• Origin is the starting location, this setting is overriden by Profile default location set in CAS Console when set. Default Origin is set to "La Maison du Pèkèt"

Steady

    "Sensor": {
      "Mode": "Steady",
      "Periodicity": 2000,
      "Origin": { "Latitude": 50.843463467183594, "Longitude": 5.1732011795043945 }
    } 

• Periodicity is the number of milliseconds Nomad lets between two location refreshing, default is 1.800.000 ms. Location dispatching service uses a TTL of 1 hour after which it consider location as obsolete and no more relevant, that's why steady mode refresh is unchanged location every 30 minutes by default.
• Origin is the steady location, this setting is overriden by Profile default location set in CAS Console when set. Default Origin is set to "La Maison du Pèkèt"
