BMW Connected

I read somewhere that the old BMW Remote App will be discontinued shortly.. so advisable to download the new App... which I have done.
Question.. How do I go about enabling the GPS positioning on my F25 X3?... according to this new app it most be enabled in order locate my vehicle. By the way the old app never located it either.. it always would tell me "the vehicle was out of range".. so what is the point of the feature??
Thanks

The GPS positioning option is in iDrive:

Just beware that some functions appear possible, but never work like unlocking vehicle. New app is also a downgrade in ease of use. It runs slower and options are hidden behind multiple sub-menus.
