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.
I’m not! I’m targeting those that call Apple untrustworthy because a few people didn’t get the recovery fix working as most did. You are clearly latching on to any negative comment with a “Apple can’t be trusted” or “makes the watch useless” etc. Neither is true. If you can’t trust Apple with their watch then why keep going on about your list maps? If you are going to another brand then the maps are obviously not that important to you.
I bought a Polar Heart Rate Monitor 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier with it, half the price of a Series 6, half the weight, the battery lasts nearly a week and takes approx 1 hour to charge from less than 10% to 100% and it works !
BTW I installed IOS14.2, GPS is now working but all workout maps still not restored pre IOS14.2 plus now all heart rate measurements have been wiped pre IOS14.0 with my phone saying not enough heart rate measurements were taken to create a graph ! Bye bye Apple I have given you enough of my money.
They did acknowledge it in the release notes of 14.2. U fortunately it seems a minuscule amount of people didn’t get the benefit of maps coming back. A lot of those without the actual maps still have the data though.
I engaged Apple support from their "Workout App" Department via the local Apple store and they admitted all my workout maps prior to IOS14 and Watch 7 have been lost and cannot be retrieved. The support I received was very professional and beyond reproach but unfortunately the maps can not be retrieved.
On another note it appears now my outside workouts greater than 5km are not being recorded correctly i.e. If I do a 10km outdoor run then the starting point begins 5km into the run however the end point is correct, just wondering if anybody else has encountered this.
I have an iPhone 8 running IOS14.2 and a Series 3 Apple Watch running 7.1
I have the same setup - iOS14.2 and series 3 watch running 7.1 and also lost my old map data with the initial iOS14 upgrade.
I have not experienced a problem with outside workouts of greater than 5km since doing the nuclear wipe of my iPhone and watch, but just last week I did have another 'no map' situation for a workout, just the start pin. I was worried that the data was again corrupt but the very next workout recorded correctly.
Hence I am not installing 14.3 or the latest watchOS until I know for certain that it doesn't wreck my data again.
I upgraded as I was planning on purchasing the Series 6, but like you, I have decided against it due to these issues. Interestingly a friend has an iPhone 10 (I think) and a Series 5 Apple Watch and experienced no issues when upgrading.
I also run with a newly purchased Polar Heart Rate monitor and it is extremely accurate, i.e. you can choose what navigation satellites to lock onto depending what hemisphere you live in, it even pauses automatically if you stop. I wear both whilst training hence was able is identify the strange 5km issue that is occurring.
I’m pleased to say that it looks like all my Activity Workout maps going back to 2016 are now restored on my iPhone.
It might be related to the 14.3 update which I installed today. I didn’t check before installing, so can’t be sure.
Anyway, I didn’t need to resort to any extreme phone restore techniques to get the maps back. They have just re-appeared, so kudos to Apple for fixing this.
Hope it’s the same for the rest of you.
So sorry to hear that, as posted earlier Apple support admitted that my workout data was lost but after ios14.3 "upgrade" all maps pre ios14 were restored. Have you installed ios14.3 ? I agree with previous comments regarding Apple's failure to acknowledge this problem with ios14 though it was acknowledged at the Apple store I visited.
I just updated to iOS 14.3 and all my maps have been restored except a few between Sept 27th and Oct 5th. Not sure why just those were only showing the start point, but I can live with that. The rest of them are there as far back as I checked (a year or two).
Yeah, there’s no map, tiny or otherwise for outdoor walks, hikes, bike rides... anything that had a map in the workout summary no longer has it in iOS 14.0.
perfect, that is also what I'm seeing on my iPhone running iOS 14. The others in this thread are not seeing the map of their workout.
Tried this to no avail.
I've already submitted a bug report through the Feedback Assistant via https://feedbackassistant.apple.com
Not recently, there may be data from 5+ years ago.
Same here, getting the same issue. Only a pin from from start and nothing else.
for me though looking back at previous rides this week the map is there in full.
Workout maps gone in iOS 14?
