Workout maps gone in iOS 14?

Thanks, I did that last night to no avail so who knows what the root cause really is.

I did however stop having gaps in the bars (or so it looks anyway) by ensuring that the “current” watch is the first in the list of data sources for activity in health, as i described above. That’s enough for me personally but I can understand rather frustration of losing maps for those who actually put effort into training!

If Apple have confirmed this is a known issue, should people stop trying to fix it themselves from backups and just wait? Just in case you end up doing more harm than good? Ps it’s affected me with an iPhone 8 but not my friend who has an iPhone 11.

I’ve lost all of my historical maps and also only have the pinpoint at the start of the route.

I have a series 3 and XS Max. Worth mentioning that my series 3 didn’t have enough storage to install watchOS 7 initially but I had already updated my phone to iOS 14 when I noticed the problem. My gut then is that it’s maybe an iOS 14 issue.

Unpaired and reset my watch, then updated to watchOS 7 and didn’t help.

Very useful info to know Rick_Patel - I feel your pain on this one! I'm mainly suffering from the mapping issue which has only happened on workouts AFTER the installation of WatchOS 7 and iOS 14, previous data appears to be fine...

I do hope this is a bug and not some underhanded tactic to move this feature to a paid service?

Related to this is anyone else seeing the Health app saying it’s using crazy (and I mean crazy amounts of storage?

Settings > General > iPhone Storage shows my Health App thinks it’s using 1.61 Terabytes, yes TERABYTES!

Either something is seriously messed up or I’ve got the only iPhone on planet earth with terabyte storage.

It didn't seem to work for me, alas. It's still restoring the apps from iCloud, but my recent workout data is still botched, and previous workouts still don't show a map (not even those from August). I guess my health database was botched beyond repair, but I hope at least this solves the gaps in the data rings from now on.

Just installed Strava and configured it on my watch. Went to Health app straight away -> Workouts -> Workout Route Data Sources & Access and Strava appeared there as an app with write access to Health in this category, however there's no watch!

Same problem. Apple Watch Nike Series 4, iPhone X Max. With the software update lost years worth of running route maps. This is very disturbing. Hello Apple, you want to promote fitness, can you get this fixed ASAP?

Totally agree with the QC idea....workout out this am and activity showed up in my summary minus the mapping....did another small workout a little bit ago and nothing showed up under workouts in the summary...unbelievable!!...very sporadic on workouts even showing up

at all!

So I've gone through most of the thread but didn't see an answer to the question I have. Sorry if it's there an I missed it.

I've not yet updated from iOS13 / watchOS6.

Is there anything I can do before or during an update to avoid encountering the issue?

Not really concerned if I lose old data(*) - just don't want to have problems with new runs.

I'd just stick with iOS13 a while long but have a S6 watch arriving next week, so will be forced to upgrade.

Any insights?

Thanks

(*) I use RunGap to sync my workouts to Garmin and Strava so I have all my history elsewhere. This is also why I dropped Nike+ Run Club the moment they closed their ecosystem. Too much can happen if all your eggs are in one basket, as has sadly happened to some of the posters here.

Can you describe the steps to reset all settings? Did you unpair the watch from the phone in that process? I tried that yesterday and paired back using a backup from an hour previously and still no maps.

So I back my phone on the iCloud, which backs up the watch. I then went onto the watch-settings-general-reset-Erase All Content and Settings. I then waited for it to reset, I paired it again with my phone l and restored the watch with a back up I made earlier. Hope this helps

I think it's clear at this point that the glitch hit different devices in different ways. I suppose that those who still have the issue are also still seeing missing Stand bars.

Let's just hope that Apple comes up with a fix that addresses *all* these issues, and soon too.

After all, we're talking about phones that cost close to €1000 and watches that cost well over €400; and part of that price is justified by the software.

This is interesting: while talking with a friend, I remembered that I should have basic health data (really just distance walked) since the iPhone 7 days, which had a hardware step counter. I went to look at my Distance data in Health and I was shocked to see data from 2014 to 2018 (that's when I bought the AW4), and then pretty much nothing except for a few random entries.

What seemed odd is that the main page about Distance DOES show recent data, so it must be saved. I tapped Show All Data and it did show recent 2020 information, but only for a split second: it quickly disappeared, and the list was "updated" to show 2018 data on top, as if there were nothing more recent than that.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Note that I apparently have the worst situation: restoring both watch and phone didn't fix the problem, I still miss the watch from the list of workout route sources, and I still get gaps in the graphs and workouts randomly not synchronized to the phone. I really hope the monthly challenge award get synchronized to the phone as I'm about to get it!

Yes, I have the gaps too. Unfortunately I don't think that Apple can recover those as I think they watch only has the current day's stats (so after midnight they're gone, especially if it *thinks* they've been saved to the phone), but I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong when a fix is finally released.
