Why does Apple Watch Workouts only capture map data from AFTER a pause during workout

Workouts that include a brief pause in them have led to map data only being available after the pause. Leads to incomplete maps. The rest of the data is complete.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
