It sounds like it’s already been on all the new MCU2 cars already the past two weeks. It’s the IC nav screen change. Not sure how much back end improvement there is.

do I only get it when connected to WIFI? I can't get on my home wifi signal (somehow). Hope I still get it soon.
Not sure you will yet. Its only being rolled out in the US by all accounts at the moment.

If by all these reports this is the new navigation then it is a huge let down to what was promised. Cruel April Fools joke.
I wouldn't get your hopes up for anything impressive. They're still over a year late on the promised major interface changes that I believe were promised to happen in December 2016 / January 2017!
I'll be impressed when they add the option for multiple stops, give you multiple route options, and generally at least come close to the level of Google, Waze, or Apple maps.
When they switched over to AP 2.0 and realized how much trouble they were going to have making it equivalent to 1.0 (which they still haven't done), they basically forgot about every else they'd promised. And now with Model 3, they've gotten even further behind. Personally, I think that the Model 3 should have come out about another year later, when they had time to get everything right on S/X first, figure out the production line, figure out their quality control issues, and actually deliver the 3 as a finished product.

I would love to have Waze integration and route options.
Based on past experience with major Tesla releases...
The new navigation software should look great on the dashboard and console displays.
There will be a few features that are a significant improvement over the current navigation app (even if all they did was use more up-to-date maps - that would be a huge improvement!).
And there will be some aspects of the software we'll look at and wonder - what were they thinking...
Even if the initial release is rough, as long as Tesla continues to have a team working on improvements to the navigation app, we should see it get better over time.
Unlike the previous app, the new app is critical for EAP/FSD - and will likely need the same type of software investment as AP software - because the NAV app will be responsible for telling the AP software where to drive, and the bad routes (like what we've seen with the current NAV software) would not be acceptable (such as trying to use highway entry/exit ramps that were moved or closed in the last 2-3 years).

Well, the new maps have officially started rolling out to older Teslas. Just got in my car to drive home from work and got a screen showing that my car has the new navigation (beta). It shows up like a firmware update, but just downloaded and installed itself overnight. At least for now, no changes except the turn by turn directions in the IC display.

Well neither of our AP2 S100D & X75D AP2.5 have it. Almost 11:00 hours into “this weekend”

There's at least one report here of that not being the case.
Right but all MCU2 cars have had it since day 1 from the factory. I’m not sure why you quoted me? I cannot speak to when your mcu1 cars will get it.

@verygreen already said the backend changed but he said it wasn't clear that was better as navigon's backend allowed a ton functionality that Tesla never implemented and he wasn't terribly impressed with this nav update 9 months ago and Tesla doesn't seem to have done much to change that assessment and I trust VG 1000x more than Tesla or Elon (hype master extraordinaire!).
Same here. I even commented last weekend how my car had the new IC and people seemed to think that wasn’t the new nav since Elon said it would be “light years” ahead. So I assumed a bigger change was coming.
FWIW, I find the new-style nav presentation in our Model 3 indeed light-years ahead of the now-being-phased-out old Model S/X style. Subtle, smooth auto-zooming. Bubbled cross streets. Clear lane indication. Perspective rendering.
Hoping for the same to soon arrive in our S.
Now that you mention it, the speed sensitive auto zoom is really great. I do like the lane indicator and bubbled streets a lot too. I think it’s a lot of subtle things. I think a lot of us took light years ahead as meaning huge changes.
