    Hi

     

    It may help to ensure that you have stopped directions, when you have finished following them: open the Maps app on your watch > press firmly on the display > tap on Stop Directions.

    Hi Marc94160,

     

    I had a friend with this problem for 2 days and when the last update came in it fixed it self.

    Update the software on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

    Here is a link to help you go through the updating process.

     

    My friend also had problems syncing with his car until the update as well. Did you happen to run into that problem?

    @appleroseml : Everything is update on my devices and i don't sync with my car except for bluetooth telephone connection.

     

    @Jonathan UK: unable ti check tonight, but, i remember that when the GPS route / track is finished, you don't have the possibility to press and select "stop directions"

    You only have the foutr items:

    search

    nearby

    contacts

    transport

    (or something like that, i am in a french version)

    So ti be able to use locate me again, you have to start a new GPS route / track (or something like that, i am in a french version), then press firmly on the display > tap on Stop Directions.

    Only after that you are able to use it again.

    I have checked this morning

    tthe issue doesn't appear when you stay on the indications but only if you show the map on the watch.

    indications on the screen-> no issue

    map on the screen -> issue !

    Probably a bug in watchOS 3.0
