Some recent work uses the protocol of changing platform location (after a specific day/trial or even each day/trial the position of the platform is moved to another location of the arena). This protocol should become available as an option of the software.
Example:
Garthe, A., et al. "Not all water mazes are created equal: cyclin D2 knockout mice with constitutively suppressed adult hippocampal neurogenesis do show specific spatial learning deficits." Genes, Brain and Behavior 13.4 (2014): 357-364.
