## Developer Tools

*GPS simulator*

Hidden until unlocked by tapping the version seven times on About & Support.

### Developer Mode

- Switch it off to hide the Developer Tools folder again

### GPS Simulator

Replaces the phone's GPS with a simulated position, for testing without leaving the desk. An orange "SIMULATED" badge shows while it is on.

- **Simulation Speed** and **Simulation Altitude** sliders
- **Movement Pattern**: Straight Line, Circle, or Random Walk
- **Load Route File**: Follow a KML or GPX route instead of a pattern. Shows the route name and point count once loaded, with a button to clear it.
- **Reset Position**: Back to the start of the route, or to downtown Ottawa when no route is loaded

## Settings Tab

The Settings tab contains all user preferences and configuration options. It is a list of folders, each opening its own page: General, Map, Wardriving, Data, MeshMapper Account, API Endpoints, Apple Watch (iOS, once a watch has been paired), About & Support, and Developer Tools (hidden until you tap the version number on About & Support seven times).

Some settings are locked while auto-ping is running to prevent mid-session changes that could affect data consistency. An amber banner reading "Some settings locked during auto-ping" appears at the top while they are locked.
