Workout app not saving route after WatchOS 7 update

Since updating my series 3 Apple Watch to WatchOS 7 (paired with an iPhone 11 running iOS 14) it no longer records the routes for my workouts (outdoor cycle, run or walk).

I have changed no settings. Location services are turned on and the setting for Apple Watch Workout is 'While Using'.

I have rebooted both the phone and the watch, but nether has fixed the issue. I have also tried turning location services off and on again without success.

I have the exact same problem - even the route of my previous workouts display only the starting location. It seems to be a bigger SW problem, since other users are reporting this as well...

I‘ve tried unpairing / re-pairing, resetting / restoring (AW + iPhone) and setting up as new (AW + iPhone) - nothing seems to work.

I guess we need to wait until Apple fixes this issue with a future SW update.

In the meantime we need to address this issue in a single community thread - this one has the most replies so far (please follow up there):

I have also tried wiping and unpairing my watch and repairing it. This doesn’t appear to of worked either.

I have the same issue on my series 5 watch and have also tried all of the above with no success.
