Thanks for the comments - folks to help us all understand the issue can you all state your watch version I.e Bluetooth or Lte and your country... thanks!
I get the impression that this app was originally made for a watch that didn't have GPS, so relied on the phone.? So it's an issue with the 3rd party app, not the actual watch hardware, which as you say works fine with Samsung health
Nice video yet again. It's working fine in Istanbul as stand alone too, I wonder is the problem the here wego coverage in the UK? I'll be flying home in May for a holiday so I'll check it out! I've the non LTE Frontier.
If this watch doesn't support Google Maps directly then I feel it's just pointless., I've used that here app and it's definitely not as good as Google Maps.
I just bought a Gear S3 Classic with Sim - can't get Standalone to work either, now it won't even download because I deleted it when it just locked my watch up
I may have found a solution. In setting,connections, location, turn it on but make sure it's only GPS not gps+Wi-Fi (here we go) app seem to work fine on mine you still need internet connection from your phone to get directions but once you do it seem to work with out the phones GPS hope it helps. p.s mine is a UK model
Seaninabox2007 that doesn't work for me no GPS on phone = No location found. Can you double check yours you be sure GPS on phone hasn't turned on automatically?
Mr Analytical nothing comes up on the phone indicating my GPS is not on the phone. only thing is it seems to have to be connected via Bluetooth and the phone needs to be connected online either Wi-Fi or mobile data. not sure but maybe it's to do with the phone or os I've updated to 7.0 on a s7 and I up dated my os on the watch.
I'm looking at getting a smart watch, I use my phone sometimes to navigate on foot to POI when visiting cities but not always happy having my phone out on show so the Navigation function on a smartwatch is what I'm mainly interested in,
I still had a guarantee and got my money back The Fenix 5x is expensive almost 800 euros but GPS is very tight He is also waterproof to 100 meters Has smartwatch features Works with the Garmin Connected app
