Apple Watch No GPS map data on Activity App: WatchOS 7 and iOS 14



 Many iPhone and Apple Watch users after updating to the latest iOS 14 and watchOS seven are facing issue in fitness / Activity app. After the update GPS tracking is not working properly and lots of data regarding work order is missing from activity maps in Apple Watch.


WatchOS 7 Apple watch GPS data not working



 The Fitness app is not working on Apple Watch properly or iPhone since updating to iOS14. Entire workout completely disappeared missed from Health app in iPhone. It seems to be a sync issue between iPhone and Apple Watch. 


After iPhone X updated on iOS 14, Fitness app does not register any activity. All fitness data has disappeared and the Apple Watch is not syncing with the new data, the Fitness data missing.



It seems that the iPhone in iOS 14 is not synching properly, for a walk of 10100 steps on Apple watch, shows 9000 something on health app on iPhone. Also Exercise registered on Apple watch not showing up in health app on iPhone.For some iPhone and Apple watch user the issue not only limited to sync between Apple Watch and iPhone but in some cases Fitness app won’t launch at all.

Below are the two major issue:

  • No GPS map data on Activity app.
  • Overall calorie usage displayed in the fitness app has declined from 2200-2800 a day to hardly like 1000 a day! While steps are still counted, and calories within registered work-outs are counted correctly. Mouvement rings seem to work fine too.



How to fix GPS not working on Apple Watch and iPhone /iOS 14: Iphone 11 Pro Max, XR,XR,8/7 Plus





Fix 1: Unpair and repair the watch

Unpair Apple Watch and pair it again, this should fix the problem in general, but please note that Re-pairing seems to only work if you still see map data for your old activities. If the map data is not showing up in your old activities re-pairing does not seem to work.


Fix 2: Reset both watch and iPhone

If none of the fixes works for you, you should try radical solution. you will have to restore your iPhone as new and set the smartwatch from scratch.


Fix 3: Adjust Move goal

 This is a workaround to sync Apple watch and iPhone. open the Fitness app on your watch and adjust your daily move goal. This should update it to the phone and fix sync issue.


Fix 4: Check for update

It seems that started after iOS 14 update, and for a permanent fix for the issue you should consider updating watchOS. If watch OS is on the latest version please wait for the next version of iOS 14 and update once available. 



Fix 5: Restore the iPhone 

Back up the iPhone to iCloud or iTunes and then do a factory reset of all content and settings. Now restore the backup from my iCloud backup and try to pair Apple series watch and the fitness app should work normally. The health app should also work without any issue. Best part is you won’t lose any activity

This is the most successful fix for Fitness App not working on Apple watch on iPhone/ iOS 14.
