Hi
Map My Run
The developer of Map My Run advises that their Apple Watch app does not currently support tracking distance-based workouts via the built-in GPS on Apple Watch Series 3 models. Instead, the paired iPhone must be taken along:
For further assistance with using Map My Run, I suggest that you consult the developer's support resources and/or submit a support request (you may also wish to submit a feature request):

In order to track your route map without needing to take your iPhone along, you can instead use the built-in Workout app:
In order to ensure that your Apple Watch can use its built-in GPS when recording your workout, first check your settings:
On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Privacy > Location Services:
After completing your workout, once your Apple Watch and iPhone have been brought back within Bluetooth range of each other and have reconnected (automatically), your workout results will be available to view via the companion Activity app on your iPhone, within the Workouts tab.
Subject to GPS reception during your workout, a route map can also be viewed by tapping on the map thumbnail at the bottom of the workout summary.

Thank you. That was very helpful. Until they figure out how to get their app to work without the phone and still track my run live I’ll be using the Nike+ run app. It does everything without your phone on you during your run.
You're welcome! 🙂
Set an outside run workout. When you have finished and re-connected to your iPhone go to activity app, look at workouts and you will find a map at the bottom of the screen. the watch does track your run.. I usually have my iphone with me but just did a walk without it. It works.
