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.
just the map icon with a green start pin, routes all gone
Errors happen. There is a fix coming
Seems to be in 14.2 release notes....
Nothing below the missing heart rate chart, not even a label/title.
Until yesterday, I got the "Heart Rate - Chart unavailable " message, and then the map and the weather info... today that info i snot shown for any of my workouts
I can confirm that the maps from all previous workouts through the fitness apps have disappeared. not happy at all. can easily use other tracking apps like Strava, but not happy that the maps just disappeared.
I'm having the same problem after updating to iOS 14 on my iPhone XR and WatchOS 7 on my Watch Series 3 but there is an exception:
While I can't see the map for a walk I did 2 hours ago, I can see the map for a walk I did yesterday afternoon, but I updated iPhone and Watch in the morning, so when I recorded that walk I already had the new version.
Only today's walk doesn't have a map. I don't know what changed from yesterday afternoon to today. I can of course access all the maps for the past months activities.
Another strange thing is that if you check in Settings of your iPhone, Fitness app is not available there. So you can't check if it has permission to access your location for example.
since updating to iOS 14 fitness app no longer records maps. No longer records data correctly as I use with Strava and no maps available am unable to monitor segments. Very disappointed as I this was perfect.
Iphone 6s with IOS14 and watch 7.
Outdoor cycling app used for tracking.. it has the map in the fitness app, but does not show any tracking when you expand it. It says i did do 20km, which is correct....but then import that into Strava and only sends 6km and again no tracking information.
Let's say that this thing is not from Apple .... I believe that there are two solutions for the moment that of downgrading to version 13.7 in order to rest assured or wait for IOS 14.1 which I believe will arrive in days since and considering that yesterday they have 14.2 Beta 1 released
Unfortunately the moral of this thread is - if it ain't broken don't fix it. I unfortunately did not follow my advise of a lifetime and downloaded iOS 14 instead of waiting a bit.
Same problem here, in fact the 5 other iPhones in the household have the same problem as well. I have lost dozens and dozens of gps workouts. Apart from the start pin of course!
The company is now valued at 2 trillion, why on earth can they not get something so simple right?
I have a second line engineer report filed and somebody is going to call back on the 21st Sept. We will see
Same problem for me, I only get a map with a start point pin in Fitness for my runs now. Hoping Apple will release a bug fix and I'll be able to see the map again. Apart from that all the GPS data seems to be captured.
Same issue here (only records the starting point) and I also noticed that, ever since September 1st it had actually stopped recording GPS data entirely for my outdoor workouts. I only found out because the other day I forgot my phone home when I went out with my dog, and saw that nothing had been recorded. I even checked with RunGap. September 1st is when 13.7 came out, and I'm sure it's not a coincidence. Why it stopped entirely though is beyond me, as everything seems correct in the settings.
Now the problem is the same as everyone else is describing: it only records the starting point and no track, but at least it means that the GPS is being used. Hopefully it's all being stored on the watch and a future update to iOS can sync the missing data onto the phone.
For whatever reason, my phone is also missing a brief half-kilometer walk workout I did yesterday as a test: it just never got copied over. I really wish there were a way to manually "sync up" the Watch with the phone...
iOS 14 has been beta tested through the summer (I think the first beta was released for testing end of July). I guess this was a bug that slipped through.
I think they are currently on the first beta of 14.2 so hopefully somewhere along the line this gets fixed!
Well, this certainly is interesting, but at least it explains why a few workouts never synced from the watch. Note how the numbers add up, but the graphs have hours-long gaps.
iPhone 11 with iOS 14.0, Apple Watch 4 with watchOS 7.0. Never used beta versions. No wonder the Health app burns through a lot of battery, there's probably some pretty serious bug somewhere.
I unpaired and re-paired the watch from the backup last night and it apparently made things even worse. No idea if the the full GPS track was recorded after the Watch restore. The only outdoor workout I was able to do before it started raining was during one of those unsynched moments, so it never made it to the watch.
Here's to hoping that either 7.0.1 or 14.0.1 come out soon with a fix. Right now the whole things feels *very* unstable.
Workout maps gone in iOS 14?
