Maps on Apple Watch Series 5

I use Maps all the time when driving, and I dislike how the distance to the next turn is obscured until you turn your wrist. Is there a way to keep the distance to next turn visible constantly? The picture is an example wherein the distance to the next turn is represented as 3 horizontal lines UNLESS I swivel my wrist every few seconds.

Outdoor run race route Hey, I've got the latest update for the apple watch and was keen to compete against my previous runs. I have done the same 'route' including start & stop same spot. Same duration run. Exact same course many many times before. but when i select outdoor run - route - nothing appears. I've given it a few days to collect the data and hope they will appear but nothing. I have checked with other apple watch users who run less frequently and have completed less runs on their routes and theirs are appearing. So not sure what i'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Workout routes not showing in 9.2 (Race Route) In WatchOS 9.2 I’m not seeing routes in the Workout app. When I go to the start of my route, select Outdoor Run and filter on Routes, there are no options. I run the same route all the time and it shows up in Fitness on my iPhone so I know the watch and/or phone is recording the route. I thought it might have something to do with my route not being along a public road. So I just tested by running the same half mile twice on a sidewalk next to a road known to Maps. It measured the 0.5 miles the same within a stride or two so that tells me the GPS reading is consistent. Still when I went back to the start of the route it did not show up in Workouts.

Apple Watch Ultra Wayfinder Bezel Does Not Show Lat/Long numbers - Always Updating... Hi, It's always showing Latitude: ---.----- and Longitude: ---.----- Updating... Watch OS version is 9.0.2 (20R8391) -- It started after I updated the OS on the watch. Until then I remember seeing it working. Cellular is not setup on my watch and I am not going to set that up yet. The Compass app on the Ultra works just fine. I've tried rebooting the watch, resetting the watch, rebooting my phone - but to no avail. Anyone else seeing this issue? It's terrible that the one new face that is unique to the Ultra watch is buggy! Cheers!
