Activity GPS issues after watchOS 7 and iOS 14 updates

Same problem here w/ iPhone 11 (iOS 14) and Watch 3 (WatchOS 7).

Today I completed an outdoor run today w/ watch and no GPS data. Looking at historical I see that GPS data is missing from ALL recorded workouts.

Same here with a iPhone 11 Pro Max and Apple Watch 5.

3 times contacted the support and after reset of the calibration the fitness app shows no training.

Tommorow it will be the 4th time contacting the support.

Same Problem since iOS 14 and watch OS 7! iPhone X and Apple Watch Series 3, using Apple fitness app to track my cycling which has worked flawlessly for the last year. Very frustrating! Unfortunately even repairing the watch (restoring from Backup and all) did not solve it for me.

I unpaired/paired my watch 4 and iPhone 11Pro last night, and it’s fixed the problem. Been out on my bike this morning (without the phone) and the Apple outdoor ride workout tracked just fine with full GPS map. Uploaded to Strava OK too. Seems to be the cure.

Luckily I hadn’t lost any data on previous workouts from before the WatchOS upgrade. The two ‘faulty’ workouts I did before unpairing are still missing the map data but I can’t see how that will be fixed (and can live with it anyway).

Back in July I did delete a lot of my own data by accident when I deleted some ‘device data’ that I thought was from previous software versions and weren’t needed anymore but turns out they were.

I had the same thing. I took AppleWatch Series 5 and iPhone SE2020 on my run, like I do every workout. It’s like they have completely lost the ability to record GPS and route data since iOS 14 upgrade. Workouts recorded on outdoor run feature on the watch, saved at the end and then imported to Strava....all as usual but then Strava starts telling me no GPS/route data to upload. It’s all a bit odd and very frustrating as I am in the middle of several challenges on Strava and training for a virtual event. I’ve checked settings for everything and all seems to be as it should be. Pleeeeaaasseee, Apple, collaborate with Strava to get it sorted as soon as possible. Thanks.

Just went for an Outdoor Walk without my phone and all data including the GPS route updated fine to the phone once I got home. Battery and everything else in the Fitness app seem OK. It seems that so far the unpairing/re-pairing has worked for me, so definitely worth a try, although it doesn't seem to be working for everyone. Be nice if Apple acknowledged the problem and issued a fix asap.

iPhone 11 Pro (iOS14) and Apple Watch 5 (WatchOS 7)

Be patient. Mine took nearly two hours. I’m going to check mine out in a while. My situation was the one with old routes being intact and just the new ones without map data. I’m hoping that is the difference between those that re-pairing works for and those that it doesn’t.

I have the exact same problem - even the route of my previous workouts display only the starting location. It seems to be a bigger SW problem, since other users are reporting this as well...

I‘ve tried unpairing / re-pairing, resetting / restoring (AW + iPhone) and setting up as new ( AW + iPhone) - nothing seems to work.

I guess we need to wait until Apple fixes this issue with a future SW update.

I have the exact same issue since updating tot iOS 14 en Watch OS 7. Also the GPS data of previous workouts (cycling, walking and running) before the OS updates are now missing in the app on my iPhone (7 Plus).

Same issues - I started with powering down both phone/watch, moved on to re-pairing, reset all contents and restored from back-up on watch, nothing has worked. I've checked all privacy settings and all location services. I've lost historical route data, and I can see in the Health app where the sources are just missing tons of info. No resolution of problems, which include -

1) Missing route data, as others have said. I have no routes from any prior workouts at all.

2) Missing workouts? Logged 3 walks on Friday, only one shows up as a workout in either the Fitness app or the Health app, though the total steps did log. The real kicker is I earned my '7 workout week' badge the next day, with no workouts even showing up.

3) Bars/counters completely inconsistent between Watch/Fitness app/Health app. 2 stand hours so far today, 2 bars highlighted on watch, no bars highlighted in Fitness app/Health app.

4) Total step counter over the last several days (since update) on Watch vs Health app are completely wrong; Watch shows 30k steps, Health app shows 12k. Extreme sync issues.

5) Don't really care about this, but looking through Health app to find other broken things; resting energy is miscounted since update.

Attached images for reference.

Also experiencing this with series 5 and 11 pro max. Along with no route data, workouts are disappearing completely despite rings closing, steps/move calories on the watch both randomly stop counting, resting energy is way off in the health app, nothing is syncing properly or even displaying the same information. Very frustrating as it makes the watch essentially useless as a fitness device at the moment, since nothing is accurate at all.

I have also tried restoring the watch and re-pairing, still having issues. Fingers crossed for a timely fix....

I have an issue with this as well. My watch (4 series) and health app and activity will not sync. My watch picks up activity, but doesn't make it to the phone. Health app no longer has any data and activity app says restoring from icloud. That's been going on for 24 hours. I've been on the phone with support for hours. So frustrating.

After updating to iOS14 last thursday 17 september my VO2max-registration in the healthapp is missing (as well as the map trasing the running). I was out running 16 km in good speed for one and a half hour both friday 18 sept and sunday 20 sept (yesterday). I am following my VO2max over time and it is important for me to see what shape I’m in, as I’m growing old (69 years) and to beware of corona/covid19. Disappointed and hesitate to by another watch from apple (AppleWath 6 for example) if theese problems continue.

All of my activity for the day will show up on my watch but not on my phone. If I restart both devices the activity shows up for a short period of time on my phone but then glitches and the app does not load any information.
