Watch ultra 2 compass doesn’t show parked car, but Apple Maps does

I upgraded from Apple Watch 7 yesterday to the Apple Watch ultra 2. The “parked car on compass” feature worked fine until then. Since I am on the Apple watch ultra 2 (which I set up from a backup of my Apple Watch 7 and then updated it to watch OS 10.0.2.), the parked car location shows up on Apple Maps, both on my iPhone 13 and on the watch ultra 2, but it doesn’t show up in the compass app on the Apple Watch ultra 2, which is where I need it.

can anyone help please?


The typical advise on the settings in privacy and location are all set correctly (privacy and data / location services / system services / important locations)


thanks ahead!

The feature stopped working again.

on the iPhone maps app I see the parked car, but on the watch compass app the waypoint doesn’t appear. The parked car complication doesn’t show the car neither…

So the latest update solved this issue. But created a new one.

Every time I want to use the waypoint app there is a long delay until the location app permissions screen comes up.

I have selected the only sensation which is use when app is open.

Unfortunately, when the phone locks you have to give permission again to use the app.

Surely there needs to be a always on option?

Ultra 2 is so scattered with apps all over the place that miserably fails compared to what the Garmin can do with a simple yet powerful system.


I feel that the Ultra 2 is just a commodity for the masses that will be on a Super Bowl commercial or on Taylor Swift’s wrist during a concert.
