### Enable Mock Location

Most GIS applications will gracefully handle the Bluetooth connection to the RTK device and provide an NTRIP Client for getting the RTCM corrections so this section can be skipped. If, in the rare case, a GIS app does not allow NTRIP corrections, Mock Locations can be enabled under Android. Then a data provider like Lefebure or GNSS Master can be used to act as a middle-man.

27
+
Before proceeding, it is recommended to have the mock location provider app already installed. So if you haven't already, consider installing Lefebure(gis_software_android.md/#lefebure), [GNSS Master](gis_software_android.md/#gnss-master), etc.

To enable **Mock Locations**, *Developer Mode* in Android must be enabled. It is best to google the [most recent procedure for this](https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+allow+mock+location+on+android) but the following procedure should work:
4) Scroll all the way to the bottom of a very long list of developer options.

5) Select the app to use for Mock Location. This is usually [Lefebure](gis_software_android.md/#lefebure) or [GNSS Master](gis_software_android.md/#gnss-master) but can be tailored as needed.

Please see [iOS GIS Software](gis_software_ios.md) for information about how to connect to individual GIS apps. Some require a BLE connection and some require a WiFi hotspot connection.

If necessary, you can open a terminal connection to one of the COM ports. Because the Bluetooth driver creates multiple COM ports, it's impossible to tell which is the serial stream so it's easiest to just try each port until you see a stream of NMEA sentences (shown above). You're all set! Be sure to close out the terminal window so that other software can use that COM port.

Apple products do not support Bluetooth SPP. That's ok! The SparkFun RTK devices support Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) which does work with iOS.
