Hi, So I have the Apple Watch Sport and it seems like the Maps app doesn't work. It's only a grid and no map.
I have reboot my phone and watch and that doesn't help. I also unpaired the two and then paired again and it still doesn't work!!
Does anyone have a solution for this??
Thanks.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
Still not working for me either. Interesting to read the different posts on this thread and other threads with the same issue. Some people are able to eventually bring up a map, while others (myself included) still see the beige grid despite using other people's solutions. If I hear back from an engineer/Apple Support person about this, will be happy to post what I learn.
Me as well. I am supposed to be hearing form them on Tuesday. If he has a solution I will update on this feed.
Success! I called customer service and the rep had me reboot my watch and it worked! Thanks for sharing inf folks.
You are definitely one of the lucky ones! I have tried everything and nothing has worked!
Glad to hear it worked for you iBagwan, and thanks for sharing. Definitely worth it for people to try what you did. If it helps followers of this thread, here are things I've read that people have tried on various threads and have apparently worked (although not in my case):
1) rebooting the watch
2) rebooting your phone
3) re-pairing the two
4) hard resets of each device +/- re-pairing
I Was actually shocked when it worked right away. I do have to say, with the exception of the Maps issue, this watch is a great piece of hardware. Fit and finish is impeccable and the UI and software has been a delight. Way to swing Apple!
I think I have a solution!
My fitbit was paired with my iPhone as well...
I just unpaired my fitbit
turned off the bluetooth
reset both Apple Watch and iPhone
turned back on bluetooth
waited a a minute and tried the Maps again
And it just started working!!!
I would try that!
If you don't have another device paired, I would still try turning off bluetooth and resetting both watch and phone and then turn back bluetooth on.
But wait a minute until you try the Maps app.
Good Luck!!!
Bear008, your brilliant!! Your fix worked. Disconnecting the Bluetooth and hard reboot both devices Worked for me.
It works for me! Thank you!
Bear008, an excellent tip... worked for me as well! I'll pass the word to the Apple Support person and give you credit for the fix. Hopefully they will spread the word to others beyond this thread.

Yes, I think this is the the answer to the problem's everyone as been having with the maps!
If it doesn't work for anyone, let me know!
Cheers!
You're Welcome!!!
Yes, I would let Apple Support know and they can record it and hopefully pass on the solution!
Thank you! It works for me
Bear008, the senior Apple Support person who I was in touch with is passing your solution around to the support teams. He described you as an "ace" for the solution... I would agree!
😊
THis is chick here should have been in IT!! Hahahaha
The Maps app on the Apple Watch doesn't work!
