map updates!

[SomeJoe7777]

Same thing happened to me today. I have full bars WiFi at home, and no LTE at work (covered parking, metal roof blocks the signal). Only when parked in a public parking lot today for about 1.5 hours with an LTE signal did I finally get the map update.

Could also just be a giant coincidence, maybe they rolled it out for my area today and I would have gotten it regardless?

i received the map update this morning, but I'm pretty sure I was on wifi at the time (parked in my driveway).

I received a map update this afternoon -- I was on Wifi at the time as well.

System updated. I was on LTE at the time. That said, I am pretty sure the bulk of the download was on wifi last night. It probably takes a good bit of time to unpack and install. <idle speculation/>

Mine updated at lunchtime today

I got more me this am when I got into my car to go to work. Wifi.

Mine updated this afternoon over LTE. The new interstate exits are on this update finally!

Just got my first maps update today. Got a friendly pop up. First time I've noticed it. Received the car in October 2015.

Got mine this morning.

Also got my map update this morning.... Sometime between when I arrived at this event (8:30a est) and when I left (noon). Not on Wi-Fi.

However they're still out of date. The road that leads to my office was changed about a year ago and it's still not updated with Navigon. Google maps updated within weeks

Got mine this morning over WiFi.

Won the lottery today - received the map update - 2nd one in 37 months. Next up - trying to figure out how old this update really is. We have a new roads in our area, and it's likely this update is already at least 3 to 6 months out-of-date (while the Google maps reflect road changes almost immediately).

Another update via 3G after sitting at work all day.

Never saw the first update notification, although service checked and told me I had the latest about 18 months ago...

If every map update is called "the latest" how could one know what they received?

A map version or date, or both, would be easy to show on the Tesla screen, I suspect.
Maybe it is already there, using a dark grey text on a dark grey background?

You mean like the speedometer? lol

Got my maps update today (probably downloaded sometime last night while I was parked in the garage on wifi).

What I found interesting is that when Nav routed me home from work this afternoon, for the first time ever it actually took me by the best route. It's not that the route it used to use had any traffic (it didn't), and it's not that there are roads on the map now that weren't there before...but it seems like the route-finding is actually better. Wasn't expecting that.

Unfortunately the route *to* work was still showing the less-than-ideal route (even though Google Maps gets it right).

Got the maps updates today. Was on LTE at work in outdoor parking lot. Was plugged in for 2 weeks prior at home and on wifi but didn't receive it then.

Wish I could figure out the distribution pattern of this map update. Seems very random by car type and geography.

I go the update message at a rest area in the middle of a 5 hour trip on the Maryland/Virginia boarder on the Eastern Shore. I connect to WIFI in my garage and have not seen the update. I was surprised that it came in the middle of a trip on LTE. The nav computer was still routing the trip when I got the message. I noticed that it picked a better route for the rest of the trip. In the past it would ask me to exit RT13 to take business loops through town which were longer than just staying on the highway. This time it took the direct route.

Good news - I received the update yesterday. Bad news - appears the maps may be at least a year old already.

The navigation software still thinks my house is at the wrong place on the block; that it takes 5 minutes to drive the first few feet on our street; and a major street being added near our house is still missing, even though it's been there for over a year (and many houses now line side streets on both sides of the new street).

I've again reported the problems to Tesla. This time I didn't bother with the car's "Bug Report" feature - and sent an e-mail, with pictures. Though if the problems are out-of-date map data, it could be at least another year before I'll see any progress.
