How do I get a map of my daily walk on my Apple Watch?

Hi

You can view a map of your daily walk on your iPhone, after having recorded it as a workout using the built-in Workout app on your watch.

First check that the following settings are enabled:

• On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
  • Check that Location Services is turned on (at the top).
  • Check that Apple Watch Workout is set to While Using.
• On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Motion & Fitness - check that both Fitness Tracking and Health are enabled.

On your watch, in the Workout app, start an Outdoor Walk workout.

• If you have an Apple Watch Series 2, you do not need to take your iPhone along, as the watch has built-in GPS.
• For Apple Watch (first generation) and Apple Watch Series 1, you will need to take your iPhone along, with both Bluetooth and Location Services enabled.
• Work out with your Apple Watch - Apple Support

At the end of your walk, End the workout and then Save it.

To see the route that you followed:

• On your iPhone, open the Activity app and tap on the workout that you just completed:

You can get a route of your daily walks. Use outdoor walk on your watch, and make sure you have your phone with you if have 1st Gen watch. Not needed for the latest watch with GPS in it. When you then check on your phone after your walk go to the activity app on your phone and look for history and select outdoor walk, the route (map) will be at the bottom next to the weather for that day.

Thank you for recreating it step by step. One wonders why Apple do not keep a the data in one place like Samsung does with Samsung Health app.

If you cannot see the Activity app on your iPhone, restart your iPhone and check again. The app appears only after your watch has been paired to your iPhone.

To search for the app, when viewing the Home screen on your iPhone:

• Swipe down on the centre of the screen > in the Search box at the top of the screen, type "activity" > when the Activity app icon is shown, it will also show (to the right of the app icon) the name of any folder that it has been moved to.
• You can also tap on the icon from within the search results to open the app.

Hello,

If I am right I don't think you can get a map of your daily walks.

Glad to be of help! Have fun tracking! got to say it really great to look back at the route and details of the walk!

TThanks for the prompt reply. I am using a series 2 Apple Watch. Where is the activity app you mention in your reply? I cannot find anything called activity app in my iPhone 6s. Please advise when you can. Thanks.

The Activity app is on the Ipnone when you pair your watch you can find it. Jonuk has given steps to find it so follow then, but you just need to pair your watch. If you have not done so yet go to the watch app to do so.

I have tried all the below and I still don't get a route. I am using an Apple Watch S2 and an iPhone 7 plus.

You're welcome! 🙂

TThanks......I think I got it.......every time you have to search "activity". I think it would be easier they had an activity app to open. Thanks again.

Yes there is an Activity app on the phone. just scroll through you pages to find it. Also look in any folders you have. Trust me it is there!

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!! I found the activity app on my iPhone.

It appeared after I set up my new watch, but I did not know it........found it on last page of my iPhone screen.

THANKS AGAIN.
