Summary:
The stock Apple Watch Workout app saves "route" information for outdoor workouts such as "Outdoor Cycling" and "Outdoor Running." This route is visible in the iOS activity app when looking at the workout details

However, there is no public API to save this route information with the workout. 3rd party apps should be able to save this information.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an outdoor run workout using the stock Apple Watch Workout app
2. Run 1/4 mile
3. Complete the workout
4. View workout in Activity app
5. Repeat steps 1-4 with a 3rd party fitness app, such as https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sweaty-bird/id1160940396?mt=8

Expected Results:
Route information should be visible for both the stock Workout app and the 3rd party app should

Actual Results:
Route information is only visible for the stock Workout app

Notes:
Being able to view his/her workout route on a map is one of the most important metrics for fitness enthusiasts. Since one of the main selling points of the Apple Watch is its functionality as a Health and Fitness device, a public API to save route information is essential for 3rd party fitness app developers.

Configuration:
Apple Watch Series 2, WatchOS 3.1
iPhone 6s+, iOS 10.1.1
