They need to update the T logo so that it shows map versioning in addition to firmware.

No Gas Know Peace
On my route to and from work my nav routes me down a road that's been closed for construction for about a year. Google, Waze, Apple maps etc all know this road is closed and route me around that street. I found it rather disappointing that the tesla nav (powered by Google?) doesn't know the current state of ongoing road closures. I was falsely under the impression that my tech savvy tesla would be better than all others at navigation.
Also the trip planner still routes me past my road trip destination for a 5 minute superchargering stop then backtracks me to my destination. I have 7.1, honestly I'm very underwhelmed with the nav and trip planner.

Map Updates are only provided to those with WiFi connection. Page 118 of 20160112 Owners Manual under "Updated Maps".

Nav map update Jan 2016
A Dutch Tesla owner logged a 5Gb download....
I'd quote the post here, but the thread is in Dutch. Some download details can be seen here, the graphs are self explanatory

I asked my SC to install the update while my car was in (they;ve had it for 2 weeks now, so I'm hoping for some consideration). we'll see. (Though I guess I don't know how to be sure anyway -- blue arrows instead of orange on the turn-by-turn?).

Yes, it now is given a WiFi-receipt example after my post. Thank you for that observation. It's another bit of documentation Tesla needs to update, wouldn't you agree?
Personally, I find it interesting Tesla would elect to distribute such large data files via cellular when they could have kept doing what they said they did all along -- via WiFi only -- where their costs I would think would be less than directly or indirectly paying AT&T for the increased usage against their data plan. It's not a good cost savings measure for a company trying to turn a profit this year, unless of course Tesla has negotiated an unlimited data plan for themselves.
...Which makes me wonder: If/when Tesla does stop giving away free internet connection to owners, I can just imagine the scorcher posts and complaints that will happen from dissatisfied owners that get a huge unexpected cellular bill because their (what, 5GB of) maps were updated the month before.- - - Updated - - -
Right, No, there isn't.
