How do I track Virtual Pageviews in the new version of GTM?

I've attempted to use the new version of Google Tag Manager to track virtual pageviews and send those to Google Analytics, but they don't seem to be sending properly.

For my Trigger, I've used the builtin History Change event type and have placed that in a tag with my Google Analytics id. The tag is set to Page View track type.

In Google Analytics, I see a pageview, but it just says the user is on the root directory. Also, I'm working in Localhost.

Is there something I missed?

I'm not sure to get the complete description of your setup but maybe an other way of tracking your virtual pageview could be directly by adding data layers directly in your code. 

dataLayer.push({
'event':'VirtualPageview',
'virtualPageURL':'/order/step1',
'virtualPageTitle' : 'Order Step 1 – Contact Information'
});

For the trigger, you will then be able to send the fire on of your virtual pageview as a event matches VirtualPageview.

Your Tag need to be set up as a pageview.

Also, using this article for GTM v1 : http://www.lunametrics.com/blog/2014/09/10/fire-virtual-pageview-google-tag-manager/, you can set up your {{virtualPageURL}}

In GTM V2, in your tag, you will have to use the - More settings / Field to set field Name = Page, Value = {{virtualPageURL}}.

Are we talking here about a one page iOS/Android App?
