It ought to be faster and less tile-oriented. More continuous zooming levels rather than scale-and-redraw. Street labels should rotate freely rather than being locked in one direction.

Also higher data usage, for all you tracking every byte your car ever uploads or downloads, LOL!
I emailed National Service to ask if they were having trouble connecting to my car for the maps download. After some back and forth as they thought I was talking about a firmware update, I now have the maps.
I have AP 1.0 and there is no place in the release notes to opt in to allow the car to send data to Tesla. I guess AP 1.0 cars will not be sending this particular kind of data to the Mothership.

It's not just AP1.0, even on AP2, that option disappeared between 2018.14.x and 2018.18. Seems like they either don't think they need consent anymore, or don't need to collect the data.
I believe its a separate nav update. I believe that the only link to firmware for nav is eligibility for the update. 2018.12 probably only supported the non-sharing nav. The 2018.14 + updates might whitelist for the newest nav with the data sharing. Just my thought.
I had a drought too. I emailed National Service and asked if they were having trouble connecting to my car. They were, and shortly thereafter I got my firmware update.I'm trying that approach, too. It's just the unprecedented duration of this upgrade drought that had me wondering if something might be "broken." At least my heated steering wheel still works, as opposed to those with 2018.16, but that gives little solace now that temps are in the 70s. At least it's good to know I'm not the only one. You know, misery loves company.
I have not compared with Google Maps yet, but so far it seems more traffic aware and gets the duration of the trip right. I am a happy camper. Downside: My wife is jealous of the new sexier voice.

I'm on my first long road trip — currently in Oregon — since getting new Nav a few weeks ago and the energy estimation for trip legs at highway speeds is greatly improved. Even on roads with 75 and 80 mph speed limits the estimates are pretty much right on or a bit conservative. With the old Nav it would always underestimate the energy needed on highways with speed limits of 70 mph or more and I'd end up with a lot less at my destination that the original estimate, even in mild weather conditions. Add in better routing choices for several problematic routes and I think the new Nav is a vast improvement over the old one. Very pleased with it.

Using old Nav in Europe, I always end up with a more, because the energy consumption (at 120 km/h - 75 mph) is less, then calculated.
I wonder, if I will get better or even worse calculation with the new maps...

The timing of the voice instructions is bad at Interstates. The old Navigation gave instructions at 3km, 1km, and 300m before an exit. Now it is 2km and 0m.

All new cars delivered in the Netherlands since about two weeks have the new maps.
No older car that I know of that received the maps over the air.
My first interstate drive today with the new Nav. (AP 1.0) I like that it tells you to turn just before the intersection, rather than slightly after. I also like that it does not talk so much. Before I muted the voice because it was saying too much. I think I can easily adjust to warnings at 1 mile, 1000 feet and at the turn. The time to destination was correct and took traffic delays into account. And it chose the same route as Google Maps choosing a longer route (distance) due to traffic delays. It is a huge improvement.
We just did ~1500 miles around Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota and Nebraska over the weekend and the energy estimates were spot-on. I wonder if they are now taking the cruise offset into account or learning from the driver speed preferences to provide a more accurate estimate of energy usage.
Having used it for a while, I’m pretty sure the new voice has a South African accent.
