Workout maps gone in iOS 14?

@NorthValley it's not as much the map as it is the segments of the maps when using a website like Strava. With segments you compete with yourself or other users using the same segments. They are very important when training.

So yes it's a very important feature.

@northvslley,

I’m one of them, who every single day took a different route, and have charts used to compare against other friends that are doing the same... so, don’t judge others just because you don’t do it.

Now, if the feature wasn’t that important, then why Apple have had it for years? Lack if vision and common-sense? Just to force us to buy more storage, cpu-power, etc.? Please let us know why the feature exist and shows us days/months/years of workouts (well, used to do it, until they screwed us)

It is vitally important to me. I have a number of different routes for running and the maps allow me to compare runs for each route against previous runs right down to the segment.

Since upgrading this has all gone. No comparisons are possible at all because I can no longer group the runs by route. Every day I am losing valuable data.

This bug has seriously destroyed my training history - I have lost years of information.

It is breathtaking that Apple has not even acknowledged it other than to post an article saying “some users may experience some problems” and advising users to wipe their devices and start over, at best a multi-hour process but for some could take days to set their phones back up. And it still doesn’t bring back their data!!!

I am getting angrier by the day.

What is a big deal is that a company of Apple's size can release a major upgrade and not bother to do

simple regression testing of existing functionality.

To add insult to injury they then offer a “solution” which entails backing out the upgrade which

is basically admitting they have no fix !

I was looking at upgrading both my phone and watch, android is looking VERY attractive at the moment.

Wow, really? It's a feature that has been there since (almost) forever and now it suddenly stops working for many users. Are you suggesting that we should close our eyes to things like that? Not to mention that to some this feature is crucial.

Have to agree with the last sentence. The new summary is poor. I want to quickly see my sept, aug and July summaries, not my sept summary then all 30 workouts, then august summary and 31 workouts etc

Apple haven’t yet acknowledged that this is a bug and nor have they offered a fix.

All they’ve said is that “some users may experience a problem” which seems to blame the users and excuse themselves.

At this stage, many of us are rightly unhappy that Apple hasn’t promised to repair our data and restore the functionality we paid for.

Same issue.

I followed Apple’s instructions and unpaired Watch and iPhone. Deleted everything on iPhone. Looooong process and maps are still missing both the ones from before and after updating to iOS14.

So there is still nothing from Apple about a fix for this problem?

I now have almost a month of workouts with no maps and therefore no way to compare my stats over time. And I assume that this last month of data can't be fixed so it's lost for good.

I am extremely unhappy that the only response from Apple is to wipe both the iPhone and watch which would mean I would be wiping out my entire music library and it still doesn't fix historical workout data! This really is pathetic.

What version of Watch do you have? I have a series 2 so it is now stuck on Watch OS6.

I briefly had maps after updating my IPhone 11 to IOS14 but now nothing except the single start point on new workouts and old ones have vanished.

Getting frustrated enough to try the Wipe everything “fix” as suggested but fear the minute I press the self destruct button is the same minute Apple release a proper fix!

Totally agree it being an ios 14 issue...all my workout info is on the watch just not showing all the time on the phone...even when a workout doesn’t show up on my phone at all it is on the watch under workout!

Hi, I also have an Apple Watch 3 with an iPhone 8. I just unpaired and repaired my watch with no luck.

When you re-paired your watch did you use the backup from the latest unpair or an older watch backup ?

Additionally after your re-pair were the workout maps prior to IOS14 restored ?

Thanks for replying, just went for a quick run, still just a pin point on activity map post IOS14 and no maps pre IOS14.

BTW I'm happy for you that your maps are being displayed, a very strange bug this one. I hope Apple sort it out sooner rather than later.

Back to using my old Polar Heart Rate monitor with GPS until this is sorted.

Thanks, I only noticed missing vo2 max

yesterday (and it looks like another common issue). I reset the calibration data and did a 20+ minute outdoor walk today, going to give it a go tomorrow to see if it resumes working. It’s getting frustrating...
