Apple Watch 6 GPS

My Apple Watch (6) does not show map/distance when I chose the Cross Country skiing work out. Is the GPS function not activated by Apple (it works when I chose the Run work out function).

Apple Watch 7 GPS not working My Apple Watch has stopped picking up GPS data when cycling - speed and total distance just show as “—-“ and at the end of my ride the map and miles covered have gaps in or or finished the ride in some random place on the map. I’ve tried shutting down my watch and phone, both have the latest software - this is really frustrated as the main reason for the watch was to track my cycling

Apple Watch GPS not working Hi everybody, I run with my Apple Watch SE, using the Adidas running app. When I start the run with my watch, the GPS does not work. Only after 2 or 3 km (or never) does it start to trace my race. However, when I start the app via my iPhone there is no GPS issue. The GPS issue is only with the watch. I already reinstalled the Apple Watch, but the issue is not fixed. Thanks for your help!
