This problem concerns Samsung Health no longer displaying the path map I’ve walked and biked.  In the past it would display but it seems like after an update to either my phone or watch, it stopped displaying a map.  I have a Galaxy S26 Phone and Samsung Watch Ultra. 

The Samsung Health App does display the chart showing speed and heart rate under the Workout Detail.  This is the same location the map would appear.

In Samsung Health under “Location information” I’ve turned on Google Map Platform.  Under “Permissions” location is allowed. 

I’ve read older questions posted on the Samsung Community about this issue and I’ve cleared both the cache and data.  I have also completely down both my phone and watch. Nothing of these seemed to resolve the issue.   

Any other suggestions.

      Try this. Open the Wearable app. Click on watch settings. Click on Health. Click on Activities to detect. Click on the activity you are having an issue with. Enable Record location for that activity. Repeat for your other activities.

      I do have Activities to Detect for Walking, Running, Bike.  I had selected Precise for Walking but have not changed it to Approximate to see if this will correct the issue.  Running is the same.  Bike only allows Precise or Ask every time.  I've got Precise selected.

      I figured out the only time a map is displayed in the Workout details is when the exercise is Auto Detected.  It does not display a map if the Quick Button on my Samsung Ultra Watch is pressed and a particular exercise is selected.

      In Summary, if say you start walking and you walk longer than 10 minutes, Samsung Health will determine you are walking and thus, when you complete the walk, a map will be displayed on the Workout details screen in Samsung Health.  If, however, you push the Quick Button on the Ultra Watch and select walking, once you complete the walk, only the Chart will be displayed on the Workout details screen. 

      I would hope, during the next update to Samsung Health or Samsung Ultra Watch, the map would be added when the Quick Button is used to select an exercise.
