Apple Wathc GPS does not work GRRR!

i have a 5th gen Apple watch.

GPS doesnt seem to work at all with anything.

i initally thought it was working for the walking aspect but i am now since to believe that it is based of Pedometer data opposed to GPS Data.

i use my watch for cycling and i cannot get it to work at all for that.

i have checked all privacy settings on iphone + Watch

Done updates to phone and watch ... still nothing .

i have read online that this is common but no one seems to have a soloution.

any help would be great.

kind regards

Andrew

Apple Watch Series 5, 6

Try this;

Unpair and re-pair the watch and selelect setup as new,you will be asked if you want to enable route tracking answer yes and you will be able to select while using the app in location settings on the phone in Settings/Privacy/Location Services.
