Apple Watch 2 GPS, no map Route without phone

[marine0816]

ive used the Nike run app and the standard app without the phone.. I've noticed whenI do this I don't get the map when I view the results after the run. Am I missing something ?

Did you turn Location Service on on iPhone?

Yes

Yes

Then at least checks if Apple Watch Workout is allowed to use Location Service. Apart from this, I have no idea.

The Nike app (as well as all 3ed party apps) needs to be updated to use the Watch GPS (probably right before the Nike Watch release). You will have to either carry you iPhone or use the Workout app for now.
