Customize iOS Simulator preset locations to fake as current location

In the iOS simulator, one can select from some Apple pre-defined locations, or enter a custom latitude/longitude for your own location.

I want to customize that list of available locations. I see from this answer that one can provide a gpx file. However, I don't see where to do this in Xcode5 (the screenshots shown in the linked to answer are for Xcode 4).

Suggestions?

  • EDIT: Another way to achieve this to edit your run scheme and select options. and provide GPX file in default location dropbox.Make sure that allow location simulation is enabled.
