Are workout maps gone in iOS 14? I used to be able to view a map of bike rides, walks, etc. in previous versions of iOS. It was one of my absolute favorite features in the Fitness app!
Please tell me it isn’t so! I would be so disappointed 🥺
iPhone 11 Pro
Since I updated to iOS14 (iPhone 11 Pro Max) and WatchOS 7 (Watch Series 4), the day it was released, I've experienced the following issues:
What have I done?
What's the fix (may not fix it for everyone):
I've now fixed this, this is what I've done (there is no risk to this, providing that you have backed up your iPhone via iCloud or iTunes/Finder):
All my historical Outdoor run/hike/walk maps have reappeared. Any workouts since the iOS14 update does not appear and the 5-7 days Health data is all a mess for when I was experiencing the problem. Maps and routes are now being displayed in Fitness and the workouts are syncing. The Health data is all accurate and in sync. The phone is no longer heating up and the battery is back to normal - 93% since 6am!
I agree with people that we shouldn't have to do all this as Apple have completely messed this up - this is a bug and a serious issue with their Health and Fitness integration. I don't have the patience to wait for the fix, as it will take weeks (in my opinion) and I just want my Health and Fitness all back to normal. The biggest issue was the battery life and the phone heating up.
It's up to you all if you want to do this - do it in the evening, or whenever you've got time, there is no risk as long as you've backed up your phone.
This is what I am seeing, gaps in stand showing in fitness app, steps and miles moved also missing data.
did a 2 hour just under 8mile walk this morning and watch shows this, but health says I did 5.5 miles, exercise shows as 2 hours, but exercise minutes shows as just over an hour. Looks like it just stops collecting the data properly.
my stand minutes shows 60 minutes of standing for one hour this morning, but fitness shows no stand at all for that hour.
Took me 17 hours to get 12 stand hours showing yesterday.
I made a fresh install with an IPSW file. At the end you will be asked if you want to install the iPhone as new or from backup. Choose backup. I have made a full backup (over USB) on my Mac before and all my health data got restored.
My son and I both are trying to figure it out. My location services are working. GPS is working on the watches. This is really annoying. I like getting my route maps. It's one of the big plus's for having an Apple Watch.
One thing I have just noticed. Just did a 46 minute indoor cycle. Fitness shows this but health only shows 23 minutes, the final 23 minutes.
I paused the workout halfway through to walk for 30 seconds to relieve my arse of the cycle seat.
wonder if pausing is contributing to the gaps in data, as I generally will also pause occasionally when out on walks and get to road crossings etc.
After restoring the Watch, I went for another walk outdoors, and again it didn't synchronize with my iPhone (which was with me on the walk too). This is getting really weird. Let's hope 14.1 and 7.1 come out soon with fixes.

Corrupting months of fitness data for a runner or cycler is unacceptable. At least Garmin let’s you know when there is an issue with their stuff. I’m running blind here, literally and figuratively, while on a trip in a foreign city. Not to mention both apple watch and iPhone are getting hot and draining battery faster than I can keep up. I am extremely fortunate to have a massive battery pack with me so I at least have a way to communicate while outside of my home area.
I wasn't commenting on that. Perhaps you meant to respond to someone else?
iPhone 11 Pro and Series 4 cellular watch here. I’ve also noticed my sleep data is very odd. Today for example, it said I only slept 3 hrs last night. I slept more like 7. And then it says I slept for 90 minutes while I was walking around a mall at 2pm. Additionally, the resting heart rate data is reading much higher than normal. Hope this helps resolve quickly. I’m already looking at Polar and Garmin watches as replacement. I’d just like some communication directly from Apple and we haven’t heard anything.
I won’t shop while sleeping again. Somehow lululemon got me for a few hundred. You would think that Apple would be all over this forum. Lots of really smart people analyzing the problem here. We’re telling them everything they need to know about their bug.
same here.. lost all the route info that feeds my cycle workouts in Strava then looked at my history in Apple workouts and they are all gone. Fortunately all the route data that went to Strava before I updated are still there.
Hope they will restore everything once fixed. My watch drains super fast now compared to pre update.
Same here! I went for a long run last Sunday and when I got back the workout wouldn't appear in the Fitness app. I re-paired the watch two times and it's still not there. New workouts get synced just fine (with no route on the map, just a pin). Weird.
Yes! I had it yesterday and I was really ****** that my health data got damaged or something. But it got fixed overnight (probably finished syncing).
Another thing is that my Move ring got stuck at 445 kcal yesterday night and wouldn't move (Exercise and Stand worked fine). In the morning the Move ring got updated to 502 kcal, lol. This was the actual number of calories I burned, probably.
Yes I just see a stick pin to where I started/. This is so frustrating as I went a new way yesterday. I hope when they fix it, it will retro provide map. I wasn’t sure if I had to update some location setting to get to work
Can I ask why you think the fix won't come anytime soon? This is the first time I've had such a big issue on an OS update and I admit I'm frustrated and impatient. But surely the fact that fitness - the premiere feature of the new hardware they have just released - isn't working for so many would be prioritized in a fix? Or am I missing something?
Well thank you all for the insights, glad I am not the only one experiencing this frustrating issue. I do think all of the measurements from the "outside walks" yesterday are correct, other than the map. I will monitor this through the day. I get worried about resetting the phone, even with back up, but will probably try that tonight, if no progress and does not record today. On a side note, since this update, my Apple watch has been really sucking the battery, but I suspect that is for another forum.
No workout route (map) after doing an unpair / re-pair. Hopefully the Garmin Forerunner 235 still works.
It's amazing how much time most of us probably spent trying to figure out the settings that changed on us trying to fix their issue.
Workout maps gone in iOS 14?
