Apple Watch series 4 not showing maps for outdoor walk

I have an apple watch series 4. When I go for an outdoor walk, the watch records and tracks all of my date and syncs it back to my phone. (iPhone 8). However it doesn't show a map. I believe this should be under the heart rate chart on the app.


I have already checked all the location services are set correctly and have restarted both watch and phone but still nothing.

Firstly check these settings.

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.
