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.
Not sure how I feel about a full restore. It’ll take ages. My work around instead of using the fitness app is use Strava and I’ll just wait for the update of iOS14.
I followed this guide: https://wccftech.com/how-to/how-to-clean-install-ios-14-and-ipados-14-final-version/
After the installation choose your backup instead of configure the iPhone as new.
I am finding that if you want to track your maps, Stravia does still track maps. There are other issues as well...
@matthewadams, what do you have in Health - Activity - Workouts - Show all Workout Routes and Workout Route Data Sources?
Maps before iOS 14 remain intact. Only maps between iOS 14 and unpairing/repairing Apple Watch are missing. Everything else works
Yes there is a map but what’s missing is all the lines showing exactly where you walked/ran/etc.
Updated my wife from 13.7 to 14.2 and she did not lose her old maps. Everything is intact for her. Old, new, and everything in-between.
No they aren’t gone. A very small amount of people had a sync issue. 14.2 resolves this.
yep. same. all the previous work outs prior to iOS14, the maps have disappeared. and with any new workout, all you see is the pin drop of where the workout started. its annoying and you would think it would get picked up at development phase!
I'm experiencing the same issue. Since I updated to iOS 14 and WatchOS 7, all my historical maps / routes for my Outdoor runs/walks/hikes are all missing - way back since 2015!
All my data in Health app is inaccurate and completely out of synch. I completed a 9.3mile run this morning, Fitness app is OK (73 mins, correct calories, etc), in the Health app it states 50 mins of exercise and calorie count is 40% less than what is recorded on the watch run and Fitness app. All the step counts, active energy, walking and distance in miles is all inaccurate.
The map route is also unavailable from a outdoor run or walk and it only displays a green dot for my house location where I started the activity. All location services and motion fitness is enabled, etc, no change in settings at all since the update. Big bug here, I just hope we haven't lost our data in iCloud and this gets fixed ASAP...
Filled out the feedback form just to try to push. Unfortunately, they don't even yet have iOS 14 as an option on the form.
But every one of us should fill out that form to keep this bug in focus over there at Apple Park.
After updating to IOS 14 and updating my Apple Watch the maps for all old previous workouts disappeared and for new workouts the map just showed a green start pin. I contacted Apple Support via twitter and was told to power off my iPhone and Apple Watch, then restart iPhone and watch. When this didn't work Apple advised the following "We've heard reports of the issue you're describing and it's currently under review. We don't have a solution at this time, but recommend that you keep your software up-to-date."
I have the same problem and after contacting Apple support they have confirmed in a DM on Twitter that they are aware but that there is currently no solution. They did not give a timeline but asked for me to regularly check for patch updates.
actually and unfortunately it is definitely a severe bug in the fitness app of Apple Watch 7 and iOS 14
All the maps are not shown any longer AND even OLDER trainings I did some weeks and months ago ARE LOST, no maps shown any longer,,,
Without the maps the whole Apple Watch 5 and the fitness App is absolutely useless for me!
I really cannot understand how APPLE can make such a big severe mistake and even not mention it anywhere as a severe bug...
‘incredible!
Workout maps gone in iOS 14?
