Workout maps gone in iOS 14?

I bet the total looks good, but the standalone stand hours in health will only count the hours that show on the graph?

im seeing the following stats not updating correctly

steps

walking and running distance

exercise minutes

stand hours (weirdly stand minutes shows correct in health)

active calories

workouts have also started playing up and not transferring since yesterday.

i havent reset my phone but I have unpaired and repaired both my watch 3 (not upgraded to ios7) and my watch 5 (upgraded to ios7) and have issues with both.

As a result fairly certain it’s just an ios14 bug.

I just tracked a bike ride and . . . it worked! The map is there and HealthFit transferred it right over to Strava, GPS and all.

Did Apple maybe send out a hot fix or did I just get lucky somehow?

I actually had started my watch activity by accident, and then when I realized, I started Strava. Then I went back to the native watch app just to see, and it was off. I restarted it, and then went back to Strava, which told me I could only have one watch app tracking my activity at a time. So I left Strava off, figuring I should test again. But I doubt that sequence has anything to do with my success.

Anyway, I had tested since my full restore of both watch and phone, and it hadn't worked. But today, it did.

Edit: just checked activities from last week before I noticed the problem, and they are still stuck with just the one location flag.

I thought this was an IOS issue, but I just unpaired and restored from backup my Series 5 watch due to battery draining fast. That fixed battery issue and on my outside walk tonight, map is showing now. I never lost previous maps, only maps since update. I still do not have maps from after update, but looks like since watch restore I have maps now for future workouts.

So who knows whether it is IOS or Watch OS issue???? But my issue appears to be resolved for now by unpairing and restoring from backup my watch.

Same issue as I am experiencing. May just try the unpair/pair procedure first and see if my maps return, other than the maps not appearing everything else seems fine, well the battery doesn’t last as long on the watch as before the os7 update.

Thanks so much. This seems to have worked. My workout from this morning was originally just a dot but now shows the full map. Yesterday’s workout is showing too. Historic ones are still being downloaded from iCloud 😀

LOL this is quite absurd: restored everything; not only the maps have not returned and I have to reconfigure all security-related apps from scratch, but I just went for an outdoor walk and it doesn't show up on the phone... and the phone is still hot as ****, eating up battery like crazy. I suppose the health app really is just broken at this point. All I can hope for is that Apple release an update that sorts it out soon.

Beware if you try the whole ordeal of backing up and restoring: it's not certain that it will fix everything!

The problem with heat is that after a fresh install and recovery all of the index need to be rebuilt again. That will take two days and then the heat and battery usage should return to normal. I am staying away from any of these suggestion because this is an obvious bug and that Apple will fix it eventually. I hate that I don't have the maps and used them in Strava to compare my cycling segments with others.

In my case it's really Health.app choking on its database and using so much CPU that the OS kills it; I included a log file showing just that in my report to Apple. :|

At this point, in my case (and I suspect many others), the only hope is Apple releasing 14.0.1 / 7.0.1 soon with some housekeeping routine for Health. I can't see any other way out.

It did not work for me either. The only thing i hope it fixed is my fast battery draining issue. The next update better have the fix for this. I am one of those that bought an AW for their fitness tracking specifically.

Just did another ride and it recorded properly again with GPS.

This time, I didn't start Strava on my watch. Only the activity in the native app.

And my HealthFit imported it to Strava and Strava shows the GPS route as well.

Hard to really rely on it now for a big ride, but for short commutes, I'll keep using it.

I really did a full restore on both - never unpaired though.

But that didn't fix the problem right away. It took a few days for me to try again and find it working.

Maybe it had to reprocess old data? But my feeling is that Apple did something on their side.

I'm so happy that I want to shout it out to the whole world.

IT WORKS, WORKS, WORKS

I restored the iPhone with a new installation and then I synchronized the Apple Watch again without performing any type of cancellation.

I am attaching the screenshots of both Fitness and RunGap.

Now everything works correctly.

I think that when upgrading from IOS 13 to IOS 14, something must have gone wrong so I think you lose the information.

In the “Fitness” screen, you see that space because I made the ride with the car.

Friday I'm going to do some training and try to monitor what is happening well

Thank you all

Did the IPSW install as mentioned earlier in the thread and the routes are still not there. The maps and weather info is back but just with a pin. Will give it a couple of days to process the data and then see.

Does anyone know if third-party apps are able to record the GPS route whereas the Workout app can’t? Wondering if it’s just a Workout app issue or something else.

So I decided to go to Apple support today with the issue. I spent the better part of the afternoon backing up my iPhone 11 Pro, unpairing my Series 3 watch, erasing my phone, set it up and used last back up, re-pair the watch and wait...and wait for all apps to be reinstalled. It did not work so the tech scheduled a call to “escalate” the case. The tech on the phone wanted to do the same thing. After declining he said it was a known issue that would be addressed in the future. Tonight I took a walk and...the route was there! None of the past routes (years worth) are back but it is a start.

I have iPhone XR and a series 3 watch.

My workouts (runs and walks) are being recorded accurately (distance, duration, splits etc) but the map is not working - just a pin on the starting point.

I tired unpairing and re-pairing my watch and when doing this, selected to set up the watch as new (ie did not select to restore).

Sadly, it did not fix the problem.

I sure hope Apple fixes this soon. I now ha ea week of workouts with no maps which breaks RunGap’s ability to compare similar activities.
