can't get any map on my apple watch

Hey everyone, was reading all of these, I had the same problem but figured out a fix.

Just open Maps on your phone, tap the "i" in the bottom right hand corner, switch it from Standard to Hybrid and then open maps on your watch. It will take a minute to load but will start working!

Hope this helps everyone.
I also reset my iPhone, Watch, and hard rebooted both before with no results.

didn't work lol

Nice try but it didn't work for me either LOL

same, didn't work. i created a username for it. maybe that will escalate the issue? this is a pretty big bummer considering I heard the maps app was the best app.

does maps work for anyone?

Unfortunately, we all bought first generation apple watches...I was one of the first to buy the original iPhone when it first came out and this is a tiny tiny problem compared to the issues they had when those first came out...if it weren't a holiday weekend I would say they would have it fixed and put out an update in a few days but give it a week and I am sure our problem will be resolved! Just try not to drive using your iPhone watch maps, you might end up off the grid somewhere 🙂

The "Switch from Standard to Hybrid" didn't work for me, either.

In addition to phone company - mine's AT&T - the other thing we might all have in common could be our Apple IDs. I actually have TWO: an ancient, iTunes Store account to which all my music and my apps are locked, ********** (which now as an @outlook.com email address associated with it, since .mac is long gone and Apple won't let me use my REAL address!), and a second account for my iCloud content, *******. It's the only other condition I can think of that's sort of "out of the norm". Can future posters maybe comment on their Apple ID setup so Apple knows if this is a potential avenue for a fix?

Nope, after 5 minutes of waiting still nothing but grids.

Same here, I also have a split/different icloud login and itunes/app store login.

My watch gets maps but my husband's does not.

It's not a hardware issue, because his Uber app gets maps just fine, so his watch's hardware/GPS is working. It's evidently some kind of a software problem between Maps on the phone and Maps on the watch.

I'm hoping for a quick response from apple in the form of a software fix.

I don't have a split Apple ID, and still have the problem.

Add me to the list of people without maps working. As with most posts, latest OS for both phone (iphone6) and watch (stainless). I have tried all of the resets and repairing suggestions here without success. Same symptoms, can't see the maps only the grid, but the phone seems to know about where I am and all apps that need that information have it.

I will call Apple support to add to the collective voice...

Received my watch yesterday and I also have no maps.... Running the latest OS on both watch and phone. I did try a hard reset but that didn't help. What to do? Wait for a software update?

Same problem here with my watch I got yesterday, rebooting both & unpairing and repairing the watch from backup did not work.

Same problem, no map, with the following wrinkle. When the watch arrived about 10 days ago and I paired with Iphone6 plus the map worked fine. Yesterday I had to replace Iphone with a new one so unpaired and then re-paired and the map has not worked since. Called Apple today and the technician was stumped, gave me his email and said he needs to elevate the issue.
