I’ve been using the outdoor walk function on the workout app for years. I’ve recently noticed that it is NOT mapping my outdoor walk well at all. It shows me cutting through yards and not following the roads. Therefore, the distance is wrong and the route looks incorrect once I’m done. Any suggestions on how to make it correct? I’ve restarted, made sure everything us up to date, and always have service.

Check these settings;
To see the map, you must turn on route tracking. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services,turn location services on then tap Apple Watch Workout, then tap While Using the App.
Then tap on maps then tap While using the app.
Then tap on System Services and turn on motion calibration and distance.
Another place to check is on the watch in settings/privacy/Location Services and make sure this is turned on and scroll down to apple watch workout and select while using the app.
