Our software engineering team has investigated this issue further and came to the conclusion that this issue happens on the phone's side. The Oura App gets the location data from the phone, and this issue occurs when the phone does not provide enough location data. As a result, the Oura App is not able to create the route. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this from our side.
