    For those willing to use a plugin, I've made one available for free here : http://1sh.eu/
    UnityLocationOverride.unitypackage
    It's pretty straightforward and should be very easy to remove when Unity solve this. Cheers !
    Do not hesitate to leave me mail if you found it useful.

    This is currently the eighth most voted item of all time, and two votes away from becoming number seven. Twenty-six more votes and it will be number five. I honestly didn't think that there were this many other people doing Android location based apps. Here's hoping for an update from Unity sooner than later.

    This is getting ridiculous! Unity this deserves immediate attention.

    Unity can you please let us know if we can do anything to solve or if you have any plans on fixing it ? 5.5 just become unusable for us.

    Most vote on all active tickets and it's still on lowest priority/no plans for fix after 45 days. Looking into to this wouldn't be overhasted now.
