The map the fitness app is showing of my run yesterday is outright wrong. It shows I went via a route which is physically impossible (across a raised railway embankment) and a fair distance from where I actually was. Has anyone else had this problem? Apple watch series 3. Didn't have my phone with me but I never run with it and I've never noticed the map to be completely off before.

You will just get a confirmation box that tells you that your metrics will not be as good if you do this.
Tap confirm and do it. You will get nothing else, no confirmation but it is done.
Then go for a 20 minute outdoor run or walk using the workout app at your normal speed on a flat road/path etc
This will re-calibrate the watch

Yes many folks have reported that same issue in the past with the earlier models. Did you have the GBS only or cellular model?
Here is one interesting article for instance:

Unpair and re-pair and setup as new.
Well its S3 after all....but yes sure, those are all good things to check out as well.
What if the map the fitness app shows of a workout is wrong
