Apple Watch workout map missing

No map showing recently in Activity Workouts. I Have an Apple Watch Series 3, and an iPhone6 with 12 gigs. On the Apple Watch I would select workout and start an outdoor run. Previously, my phone on the Activity app, in the Workout section would show a map of the run, but not for the past two weeks. On my phone, I went to Settings, then Privacy, and made sure Location Services was on for Apple Watch Workout "While Using" and also for Maps. I'm afraid I may have turned off something I wasn't supposed to. Suggestions?

Also had the same problem even had apple support call me and we both could figure out why. So in my apple watch > privacy> location services> Apple watch workout- it says ask next time. But for a month it never did ask. And you cant even changed or tap it to the “while using option”. And then on my Iphone >settings>privacy> location services “apple watch workout was not there. This is something small but annoys me as I want to view my route after running/cycling. So here’s my SOLUTION after a month of agony -> All I did was erase everything on my apple watch and just paired it again on my iphone 7 plus. And then at the start of the pairing again it asked about route tracking. I just made sure that I turned it on. And so its good now. Finally apple watch workout is now available in iphone > settings > privacy> location services. I hope this help others. Either this was a bug or I changed something in my settings (which is not likely) prior to that 1 month I used to have maps/routes on my watch workout. And I barely changed things in my apple watch. I really just use it to monitor my workout and details like heart rate. I really think its a bug with the latest update on ios for apple watch. God bless everyone ! Jesus loves you!

Thank you for the advice on settings. I have checked all these but my map data is still not showing. I have an iPhone 7 and Apple Watch 3 running the latest software.

I’m having the same issue. I tried unpairing and re pairing, but still doesn’t work. I’m also having issues with the fitness app on my phone. It’ll say the correct stand hours but the graph doesn’t show the right number of hours.

I have the exact same problem - even the route of my previous workouts display only the starting location. It seems to be a bigger SW problem in the Apple HealthKit database on iOS 14, since other users are reporting this as well...

I‘ve tried unpairing / re-pairing, resetting / restoring (AW + iPhone) and setting up as new (AW + iPhone) - nothing seems to work.

I guess we need to wait until Apple fixes this issue with a future SW update.

In the meantime we need to address this specific issue in a single community thread - this one has the most replies so far (please follow up there):
