I know of that feature. I got tired of researching (or being lazy and just asking) how to do it so I finally created an instructional text file.

Here you go. I'm sure it's not original though. I apologize for not crediting the original source.

Setting a Simulated Location

If you are indoors or not receiving satellite signals, you can use
the GPS simulator to plan routes from a simulated location.

1 Select Settings > Navigation > GPS Simulator.
2 From the main menu, select View Map.
3 Tap the map twice to select an area. This zooms in the map.
4 Long press on the spot where you want to set the vehicle location.
The address of the location appears at the bottom of the screen.
5 Tap the location description.
6 Scroll down on the left of the resulting screen until you can tap on "Set Location".
