After upgrading my iPhone to iOS 14 and watch to watch OS 14 the map data is gone for past and new workoputs. Location Services On>Apple Watch Workout>While using App set. Maps that appeared on old workouts are also now blank.
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.
In the meantime we need to address this issue in a single community thread - this one has the most replies so far (please follow up there):

None of my activities are recording gps data after upgrading to watchOS 7 and iOS 14 either. I have checked all setting and can find no error. I have power cycled both the watch and the iPhone.
all my past activities do however still show the gps data. It is only new recordings that are a problem.
Yes my past activities still show the map data. Only the new activities are missing the map. In the big thread lower down some suggest re-pairing fixes it. Others say nothing fixes it. I’m giving it a go with repairing now as I just arrived on holiday and really want to get the maps on my walks. It’s a bit of a disaster.
No you shouldn’t lose anything, it will let you restore the watch backup from your phone. You will need to re-authorise your cards used for Apple Pay by entering the card security but everything else should be as you originally had it. It’s not a quick process so make sure your watch is charged and you have a couple of hours available.
Have you checked your past workouts? My old workouts showed the map data until tis update but they, too, are now missing.
Sorry I missed yiour line that you do still have old GPS data.
I'm afraid if I re-pair the watch everything will be lost
I’m having the exact same problem. Again, all ‘old’ workouts which DID have a map have now lost such. Pretty frustrating
Same issues here too! Apple support have said they are aware of the issue and it should be repairs in the next update!
