GPS tracking in activity app on iwatch not working

My workout route is not showing in the map for each workout. Privacy settings on both the iPhone and I watch have been turned on correctly to allow GPS tracking.


thank you.

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.
