Since I travel in Canada, I too, would like to see the new maps of Canada. The need to fill in a bit more of "The Great White North".
Especially superchargers!

How many days was that since you upgraded to .12 update? Just curious....

Is that confirmed? I'm in Canada with 2018.12 and no new maps but assumed they would come in a separate download later. Has it been confirmed that no-one out of the US is getting them?

I bleed Cardinal
So, I was one of the original updates of .12 on 3/28 loaded at a SC when my car was towed there as a DOA. When I got it back 3 days later, it was full of issues and I am happy to report that almost all of the issues have self-resolved between then and now.
Be patient and let the system work itself out. The maps are great, the AP is excellent, Stereo sound is crystal clear now (have not tried XM since the last improvement) Phone works both ways (READ: I can hear and be heard), the maps are loading lightning fast and streaming has become reliable. I almost feel like all is as it should be.
oh cr@p, I probably should not have vocalized that my car is now near perfect. I can feel the little gremlins conspiring on what to do to it next....

I think we will still be talking maps when 2018.24 comes out, since a lot of us don't have a new release, and a lot of us that do, don't have maps!

For those who have the new maps, what happens if you enter a destination in Canada or Mexico? Does it switch back to Navigon maps and navigation or does it well have new mapping data outside of the US?

Hooray! New maps today, four days after I installed 2018.12. I( haven't driven since getting them.
Don't forget there is a large world outside North America... there appears to be no point rolling out .12 to the rest of us unless we didn't get .10.4 since there is no new navigation for the rest of us yet. As far as I can see there is no real difference between those two releases except for the navigation.
Don't remember exactly when I got .12, it was either Monday or Tuesday. So either 3 or 4 days(2 or 3 before it started the download). I'm on a very strong 1Gbps connection. On that point, the fastest I ever saw the download go was 11Mbps and it was more typically around 5-6Mbps. Their upload speed is very slow.
That’s a point! It may be a domestic release only, and that may continue until some new fleet-wide feature appears. Hard to say since we don’t know what else if anything is being updated.
Didn’t they also improve MCU performance in this update? I think that’s worth rolling out even if we aren’t getting the new nav for a while.
From what I read, the speed ups were for the browser, though there is conflicting information about the rest of the interface from different people. If it's the browser, well then we have the same problem - there is no browser enabled in many parts of the world such as where I am.
My MCU is no faster but I didn't think it was that bad before.

Running here with 2018.12 for a few days now on my AP1 Model S, and still rock solid performance of:
• Autopilot (now even more dead center in the lanes versus before, and no more hunting on hill crests! I sooooo love AP1)
• Navigation (new maps are nice, but I tend to use my iPhone for navigation, so no biggie to me)
• Music (sounds great as before, but an FYI that I'm running Light Harmonic speakers, sub, and their delicious amp)
I would say the touchscreen feels just slightly faster with this update (and hardly any difference on browser performance). So from my perspective, either:
a) this isn't the big MCU software update that Elon was alluding to, given it's a small improvement over previous updates
-or-
b) time to start saving for that MCU 2 upgrade
Given Elon's propensity to over-hype things, my bet is on the latter. And I'm not even speculating how *any* of this impacts the browser, as that's an endless fix-it wish.
I hope I'm wrong.

Finally took my March 2018 MS100D 2018.12 with new MCU and Navigation out for a real drive. After 35 miles on the odometer AP became available. It might have been sooner, It was the first time I engaged AP.
I can ex’s-Essex my impressions with one word: WOW!
Night and day compared to my previous car (2017 MS90D 2018.6.1)
AP is silky smoooooth
The 3D perspective zooming on the IC is fantastic. Really gets my attention as I approach a maneuver.
I rarely paid any attention to the IC nav on my 90D. (Farsighted) I found it to be kind of useless with the exception of Freeway exits.
Also noticed lines on adjacent lanes: (is this new?)

That would be new for an AP2+ car. AP1 has shown adjacent lanes all along, but from everything I've read AP2 didn't unless you were changing lanes - apparently until now.
Do you see cars in those lanes on the IC yet?
Nope, AP2 has done that at least since auto-lane-change was enabled. It shows solid lines just like in that screenshot whenever auto lane change is enabled on the stretch of road you're on. It only shows cars in those lanes when you actually put your blinker on (and it does that whether auto-lane-change is on or not).
I wonder about something. Is there a way to keep the car always on wifi at home so maps can be downloaded, if that is even a factor? Car ofcourse goes on suspend mode at home. When I go to the car in a couple of hours, it isn't connected to wifi....do you guys think this has any bearing...or it will happen when it will happen?
It should be connected. Do you have Energy Saving on? If the car is plugged in, there’s no reason to try to save a watt or two (IMHO). Try turning that off.
Mine is connected all the time and wifi is always connected. Car wakes up the instant I walk into the garage.

Skipped the 10.4 and went right to the 2018.12 update with the comparison. Ap1 and ap2 are nearly identical at this point. Now if we can just get some of those enhanced features...
