How to see track log on map?

On the Fenix 7x I would like to see my tracks on the map. I only see my tracks on the 'Trackme' app and the track is black, not the magenta that I set in the map settings. The 'Track Log' is set to 'Show' and 'Track Color' is set to 'Magenta'.

How can I see my tracks on the map app and others like the MTB app?

Thanks!

    Update: I talked to Garmin Customer Service. If you want to record a track, start an activity or use the Track Me app. Make sure your track log is set to 'show' and make sure to save the activity or Track Me session when you're done. To view the track on the watch later, from the watch face, press the left middle button (menu) or swipe up or down and go to Last Activity. Scroll down the list of activites to the desired saved track and open it. I use tracks to make maps for work. The watch tracks are saved as a FIT file, not a .gpx file. You can view the FIT file on Connect or Explore but not on Basecamp or in GIS software. If you need the tracks in .gpx format then connect the watch to Garmin Connect and go to Activities-All Activities form the left panel and open the activity that has the desired saved track. After the activity opens, click the gear icon in the top right corner and scroll down to Export to GPX and it will download a .gpx file of your track. From there you can do what you want with the file such as open in Basecamp or GIS software or convert to a different format like .kml for Google Earth, etc.
