GPS Location on Samsung Gear s2, standalone application, is it possible?

Hello,

Is it possible to get the GPS position on a standalone watch app running on the Samsung gear s2?

I have seen this snippet:

Get watch current location in web application

And i have also seen this post:

Gear S GPS location!

I can’t get the location to work. Im sure i have the privileges on the confix.xml. 

Questions:

1 – Is it possible to get the GPS position on a standalone watch app running on the Samsung gear s2?

2- If so, what steps need to be taken in the watch settings? (connections / Only use GPS is not available on the gear S2) Does anything need to be done in the paired smart phone to share the location?

Thanks,
