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.
Today I used the Watch Strava app to record my run. Almost everything worked. The watch app synched with the iPhone app and the iPhone app sync the strava website and I could see my run on the map and all my segments were there. Looking at the fitness app I see that my move ring reports the calories from the run and also the exercise minutes. What is missing is the actual workout does not show on the fitness app.
I know everyone seems to be getting different results but all is back to normal for me! Yesterday my run didn’t even upload at all. Fed up, finally decided to reset just my iPhone and restore from backup. I ran today and it uploaded AND the Map is there!!! Even historical maps are back!! For a while after the recent up date- no map, then the map came back with no data just the starting point, then nothing at all! So this was a fix for me!
I didn’t unpair my watch first as I forgot. I simply followed Rick’s process of
1) ensuring phone was backed up to cloud
2) downloaded 14.0 file on Mac and plugged phone in to reset it
3) when phone was back I restored from cloud backup
as part of this my watch was also restored as the apple logo appeared on it whilst it was on my wrist and the running track around the outside.
everything now works and maps show except for 2 days after the update and before the fix. Pity as one day was a 60mile ride but it’s not the end of the world
This does not work for me. I tried but when the iPhone is back with the latest backup, my watch didn't do anything. When opening Watch app on iPhone it asks me for pairing a watch. ****. At this stage even all maps are still missing in all workouts from the last 4 years.
Well now suddenly I not longer have the heart rate chart on my activity summary....says chart unavailable due to possibly not enough data.....what the h- - - is next with this watch.....gotta love iOS 14 and iOS 7....NOT!!
Hi
After clean install I restored from the latest backup as I did not want to lose any data from any app.
I did unpair my watch before, then allowed the restore to fully finish before re-pairing my watch and with the latest backup.

I also tried Strava and in my case the issue with Health crashing has prevented the Strava workout from being added to Fitness, just as it often (but not always) happens with the default Workout app. I had some luck with MapMyWalk earlier, but at this point it's just a coincidence that it managed to save before the healthd process stopped responding.
I also only have 5 hours recorded for Stand and only three tiny lines for Exercise, but at least the counter does report 12/12 hours and 25/30 minutes.
Honestly I don't even care about the past workout data, as long as Apple releases an update that sanitizes whatever's left in my health database and stops burning my phone's battery every time I do anything health related.
How this whole thing even passed QC is beyond me. I understand that there are commercial deadlines and whatnot, but this is not just happening to a few people who may have "mishandled" health data (not that you can do much of that on iOS anyway). Not to mention that, as others have pointed out, Apple prides itself in the Watch being the perfect fitness device.
@Mapsgone, do you also have gaps in the stand hours bars? And our of sheer curiosity, if you go to Settings - Privacy - Analytics - Analytics data, do you have a file called healthd-cpu-something? (That indicates that the health background service was killed by the system because it used too much cpu)
Had a feeling new update wont have it cause I read in another forum that 14.01 beta for devs has been out and they said no fix in that beta. I was hoping Apple would add the fix in but guess no luck. If next one doesn't have it could be some time before it actually gets fixed.
Do not upgrade!!!!...my wife still has ios 13 and ios 6 and everything is good on her phone and watch...stand hours total are correct but shows 1/3 of what I actually have on mine and still no map end point...can’t think of anything else to try at this point....stick withe13 and 6 till a fix is out!
I believe I found a solution, it worked for me. I backed up my watch though iPhone back up to the cloud. I then went on my watch and reset all settings and then paired to my iPhone and then used the back up from earlier
I just bought a bike and was looking forward to using the Bike route option on Apple Maps. And! The Bike Route option is only available in 3 cities, of course not my city. But!!! It’s available for the ENTIRE MAINLAND CHINA!!!!! WTF!?!? Does Apple only consider its true customers to be people who live in San Francisco and China? Last I checked, the US has a fair amount (47 million) bikes.
Wow, that's completely the opposite from what I have. I have only my newly paired Apple Watch in there, but no previous data sources, that is the reason why I have maps in new workouts but not in earlier ones. Looks like the bug is inconsistent across different devices.
Happy to report that restoring my iPhone and doing a fresh install of iOS 14 from my Mac has fixed the problems.
All missing workouts are back, route maps are back and missing stand data back.
If anyone’s interested I basically followed the same steps that some others have (similar to here: https://wccftech.com/how-to/how-to-clean-install-ios-14-and-ipados-14-final-version/)
Note I didn’t unpair my Watch, didn’t need to and it paired up automatically once my iPhone was restored.
Hopefully this helps someone else.
Looks like the glitch I have is on the walking + running distance data. 2020 data shows up then goes back to oct 2019. My Workout Data > show all workout routes only shows until 9/17/20 which is the day i upgraded to IOS 14.
Workout maps gone in iOS 14?
