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.
This! I tried it yesterday and almost in every category I have my renamed Watch in the list except for Workout Route Data Sources & Access. Looks like the reason why it doesn't get registered. Would be great if anyone else tested it.
Asking the same question as I did to another user: did you restore from a backup? And if so, which one? (One before the first update to iOS 14, the most recent one in iCloud, one you just did before doing the restore, etc....)
I think this may be handy to anyone wanting to go — ahem — that route. (Couldn't help myself with that pun. :-D)

They are coming out with Apple Fitness+ a paid membership... I’m pretty sure we’re going to pay to have those features now. A lot of fitness apps started doing that, even Fitbit.
If that were the case, more people would be missing the maps. Not everyone is. I'm not.
I already give feedback to Apple and also had a support guy looking into it : for now no solution....
iPhoneX and Watch 4 Nike GPS + Cellular.
I already did : unpair of watch, restore from backup, setup as new watch...same procedures together with an iPhone Restore through Finder as well as downloaded the images.
Every try makes it more worse.....
Unpairing watch and restoring iPhone : there I already have no maps at all in the Fitness app.
After pairing the watch it is not syning workouts to the iPhone any longer, or heart rates are completely missing. In every case there is no map.
So only thing here is : HOPE, Apple will fix it soon and will bring back all the lost maps etc...
Do nit want to loose hundreds of workouts from the last four years ....
Hi, here I have RunGap, Ski Tracks, a lot of Apple Watches (the current one and the former ones. The current one has its last entry on Sep 17th. On that day I made the update to WatchOS7. So seems all old data is there but not shown in Fitness App, all GPS data since WatchOS7 is never recorded.
yes i have very similar with complete reset of phone and re-pair of watch and when i look at active energy in the health app it shows my new data for 1 second and then disappears ,then only list only a couple of entries from 2015, no recent data and still no maps!!
Same issue, I've got an iPhone 8 paired with an Apple Watch Series 3, all previous workout Maps now gone and workouts since the "upgrade" just showing a start point. VERY disappointing from a company that can't do regression testing on a major upgrade and allow this to happen. Been in IT since 1979 and lack of testing of new software releases is unfortunately par for the course now in this industry.
Yes, many users are experiencing discrepancies between activity and it’s transfer into the health app. Some are also reporting stand functionality is broken. New iWatch 6 users are also having problems with things like SpO2 measurements, hand wash timing stalls and other new features. So maps is only one small part of a much larger problem.
Hi, I having couple type of workouts via Apple fitness. I noticed that Outdoor running do missing the maps,
other like functional fitness map exist although I have no moving. Also indoor cycling has map too.
I am wondering just some of the fitness activities were missing the map setting rather all of them. Nobody issue, I guess is Apple technical problem.
I did the whole process and situation is the same:
You actually saw the old maps with complete routes? That should be a good sign for apple to be able to get us those old map routes back. Its in the health app but the bug is making it disappear for some reason.
Something is really wrong with the cache of these maps in the app, but the bright side is that the maps seem to be there but very well hidden...
Certainly seems to be related to a file size issue. In addition to the Fitness app showing storage on my phone if 1.5TB, when trying to view my workouts in the Zones app, I get an error about file size too large.
Hi,
I’ve followed Apple procedure and it worked. I consider myself lucky compared with the users reporting that it didn’t changed anything. In my case, everything is back to normal. All the data is back, including the maps of the old workouts. I just had an issue with Strava and its importing workouts option from Health to Strava but it got fixed after I uninstall/reinstall Stava app.
I hope Apple will release a fix for those who are still experiencing the issue because I know how frustrating is the situation.
Workout maps gone in iOS 14?
