No Map/GPS in iOS Activity App (only in Strava App)

    Hello!

    I tracked my activity with Strava app on my Apple Watch. After syncing with my iPhone I can see GPS/Maps in Strava App of my activity, that works great. I also allowed Strava app to write my activities to iOS Acitity App. I can see the actitity but at the bottom of the actitity there must be the GPS/Map, but I can't see it.

    When I track my activity with the iOS Acitivity App I can also see the GPS/Map at the bottom of the actitity.

    Is there a bug or can't Strava app sync GPS to iOS Actitity App?

    I find using the Apple workout app better, download an app like HealthFit to then upload to Strava/TrainingPeaks/whathaveyou.

    I agree but there's no community or sharing facility with the Apple Activity app.

    Not a bug as such, Strava just doesn't write workout routes to the activity app database.

    If you record your activity with the builtin Workout app you can use an app such as RunGap or HealthFit to export it to Strava.

    Alternatively, apps such as Workouts++ and Intervals Pro do record the route in the activity app and can be exported to Strava using the above apps.
