Apple Maps Doesn't Load

Apple Maps refuses to load the maps when I open the app. It shows small tiles, big tiles - no matter what I do I can't get it to load. I re-paired the watch, rebooted it, everything.

Running latest iOS on my 6+ paired with my new SS 42mm Milanese. Data for all other Watch apps work fine.


I have a support case with Apple Support open so we'll see what they say in the next 24 hours...

Anyone else having this problem?
 
Had that exact same problem on 1.0 when I first got the watch.. then it worked and it worked ever since, quite bizarre really :p
 
Mine did the same thing on day 1, after loading the maps app on iPhone and rebooting the watch it started working...

So perhaps it is updating the application or syncing with the phone overnight?

You would think Maps would work out of the box considering how major a part of the experience it is.

Aren't you the one expecting an 18K Edition Watch?

SS is the casual everyday watch to bang around and 18K is the real jewelry. It's like when you use your Green Amex out and about but your Black for the shopping sprees.

I just got my watch, and mine is doing the same thing :(.
I updated to 1.0.1 and it still isn't working.

We should all report to this Apple as an ongoing bug so they can really look into it. Tier 2 support said they've never gotten a complaint about this yet...
 
Spent 4 hours on with Apple support (off and on trouble shooting) Turns out they know about it and there is going to be an additional update within the next few days. 1.0.1 did not fix it for everyone and "supposedly" there is fix on its way
 
Maps in Watch

Same problem here.
Not loading the map on the 1.0 and on the 1.0.1 update.
if I try to ask for directions it works but without showing the map itself.
 
It still isn't loading I let a friend use it and pair it with his and now I paired it with mine it still doesn't load anymore



I nearly did everything
 
Same issue here...grid only shows with blue dot!

Wife's 38mm SS works perfectly...both watches on iOS 1.0.1
 
Same here... I had to get a replacement watch today due to dead pixels on the screen, and the replacement seems fine but the maps simply will not load! I have tried everything I can possibly think of, from setting it up new, to resetting both the iPhone and Watch... nothing seems to work. It worked fine on my old watch, so I don't know if it's the watch or a software bug. But considering everything else works so far, I am going to assume software bug.
 
Same here!
Isn't loading maps data. The same on 1.0 and still the same on 1.0.1.
Tried hard resetting for both and still nothing.
 
I really wanted to use this as my daily navigation tool but it looks like everyone else is having the same problem.
 
I wonder if it could possibly be that the map data from Apple's servers is down or not currently pushing out the information at this time? It is odd that so many people are experiencing the issue all of a sudden, and maybe even a lot of other people too who just aren't currently using the maps app in order to find out.

I was able to put in an address and have it give me directions, so the directions/GPS are working fine... There simply isn't any map to show me where I'm going. Just a grid.

Same issue here. I just got mine today and it will absolutely not show any map data whatsoever. GPS location works fine (for Weather, etc), but just no map data.

As you might remember: Same watch, as well delivery today, no map. Update to 1.01 and hard resets didn't help. No map data.
