disable the GPS. If the activity you upload has position data in it, you will get a map. At least for me, when my GPS is disabled, I didn't get a map in Garmin Connect. However it's probably been two years since I've uploaded an activity with no GPS data. So I don't really know how the modern GC handles it.

With no GPS, no map. It needs a GPS location to determine a map.

Except I'm having a problem now where the maps aren't showing up (for my last 2 workouts) Distance is there. splits are there. but not displayed on the map... I'm sort of annoyed. (I can't find any one else with this problem)
Well did you make sure the GPS on the device was enabled again. Many of Garmin's device automatically enable the GPS at startup, but I don't know if they all do after it's been set to "disable". One time I had a similar issue with maps not showing up in Garmin Connect for a few activities. I exported them from GC to my computer then manually uploaded them back to GC and the map/track was there. Voodoo! But the issue for mine may not be the same as yours.
Sometimes it helps to post the activity file from your device in a thread in the sub-forum for your device. Then someone that has software to view it can see what might be happening.
I figured that my GPS must be enabled, or I wouldn't be getting distance information.
I'll see about doing an export/reupload... how do I do that? :o Also. howcan I grab the activity file - I'll also try your suggestion of posting in the device sub-thread.
ok. so I figured out the export (but I had to switch the the old view....couldn't find it in modern)
I also loaded the information in the old Training Center software and the map information isn't showing up there either.... I'll head over to subforum... Thanks again... I still have no idea why it would have stopped working all of a sudden.

You haven't said what device, but that's not necessarily true. If you're using an Edge, then it could get speed/distance from a speed/cadence sensor, and I think some of the running devices do "dead reckoning" using an accelerometer to determine distance (probably not too well if the run is long enough).
I have the Forerunner 305. I found another thread of people having the same problem. even more interesting - It's not showing up in Training Center, Garmin Connect, or DailyMile but if I go look at that data on the unit itself, I can see each split showing up correctly on the map. Very peculiar. But now I know I'm not alone. Would be nice to figure out what's going on.
