Cross country skiing workout Why doesn’t the Apple Watch have a cross country skiing workout that maps your route, etc.? How shortsighted is that?

Apple Watch workout issue My Apple Watch workout tracks running/walking workouts’ distance properly but does not track distance when cycling (0 feet) and this is baffling me. It tracks heart rate, calories burned, but NOT distance cycled outdoors. Why? I have reset all devices and turned motion tracking on/off on all devices already. Very frustrated.

The gps function is not activated on cross country skiing.

The workout only calculates time and calories not distance.
