Maps of runs / walks in workouts

I’m not getting a map of walk / runs - just a position point, not a route. Any ideas?? Thanks

To see the map, you must turn on route tracking. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services,turn location services on then tap Apple Watch Workout, then tap While Using the App.


Then tap on maps then tap While using the app.

Then tap on System Services and turn on motion calibration and distance.


Another place to check is on the watch in settings/privacy/Location Services and make sure this is turned on and scroll down to apple watch workout and select while using the app.

I appreciate the comments above. Any idea why I don’t have “Apple watch workout” as an option in my phone? Can’t find it there, and I’m assuming that’s why I can’t change the option in my watch to “while using” as you suggest above. Thanks for any help!

Unpair and re-pair the watch and selelect setup as new,you will be asked if you want to enable route tracking answer yes and you will be able to select while using the app in location settings on the phone in Settings/Privacy/Location Services/Apple Watch Workout.
