Is there any app that allows you to see a map of your run with apple watch series 2 without taking your iPhone with you? I thought with built-in GPS this would be no problem, like many other GPS watches, e.g. fitbit surge.

The map feature using the Workout App can only be viewed when synced back up to the phone.
There is a hiking app that was featured in the keynote presentation of Watch Series 2 where you could see your route as you hiked. But these only work in certain areas and the maps have to be preloaded before hiking.
Are you looking in the Activity App on your phone? The workout tab is at the bottom.
Hi
When using Apple Watch Series 2 to record outdoor workouts, the built-in Workout app can record a route map without the paired iPhone needing to be taken along.
To view the map:
After your workout, once the Apple Watch and iPhone have reconnected, open the Activity app on your iPhone > Workouts (tab) > tap on a workout to view the results > tap on the map icon at the foot of the summary.
If route maps are not currently being recorded, the following steps may help.
If you have not yet done so, update your iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest software, starting with your iPhone:
On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Location Services:
I did what you suggested and do not see a map icon at the foot of the summary.
The following further steps may help:
Restart both your iPhone and your watch:
Unpair and re-pair your watch:
If the issue persists, I suggest that you contact Apple Support for assistance, taking advantage of your initial 90 days of complimentary telephone-based technical support:
