Apple Fitness Cross Country Ski doesn't map, doesn't record distance

Apple Fitness "Cross Country Ski" doesn't map the route & doesn't record distance - basic GPS functions.

I know there's other Community answers out there suggesting you simply use "Outdoor walk" or "Hike" or a different option. But why can't THIS option be fixed? Running, walking, bicycling, hiking, etc - all record distance and map. Isn't it simply a matter of adding the same GPS programming function to Cross Country Ski that all these other options use?
