On my Ultra, when I walk or run in a workout, I am able to see a detailed map showing exactly where I have been.

Now, with no warning, the map will just show a single point and not the detailed path that I took.

I feel like I have accidentally changed a setting and need to know what I should check to get it back to normal.

I’ve not got my ultra yet as waiting on my preferred strap but coming from a series 3 this is quite disheartening.

It may be a setting under privacy but it may not be. This happened periodically after runs on my series 3 when I left my phone at home and drove me crazy. I worked out that it maybe got confused when I arrived home but gps wise hadn’t dropped using my phone connection. I started putting my phone in airplane mode before I left the house and I stopped getting the issue. I’d hoped it was just an early Apple Watch concern.

What puzzles to me is it has worked perfectly except all of a sudden the last three workouts. I will check the privacy settings. I am actually carrying my phone with me.
