Maps, traffic issue

[Lloyd]

This is a "known issue" . Even scrolling to several zoom levels may not agree with each other. Reboot your center screen to reset all zoom levels and have correct traffic for a while.

Toggling the traffic display off and on in the Maps UI also will refresh the traffic instantly.

I've tried that. It doesn't work all the time. Even if it did, it shouldn't be necessary. You shouldn't look at the map and have to double check that it's not lying to you.

I sat in my work parking lot and watched the traffic refresh, it does appear to take a while (over five minutes easily).

The routing issue that @slipnslider has could be because they have the time saved reroute set to the default of 10 minutes, maybe bump it down to 5 or less and see if it gives you different routes while driving?

If it is already set lower, then I dunno...

I have monitored this, and without intervention at the standard zoom level, your traffic data can be DAYS old unless refreshed with a reboot or ?????.

I just got my car yesterday, so I'll be keeping an eye on traffic status at work (where it is easiest for me to verify) or home on weekends (all those folks going to OBX from north pass right by me). Does the map auto zoom in and out for you guys?

I have gotten in the habit of tuning off traffic as soon as I get in the car and then toggling it back on. Seems to work.

I'll add that to my ever-growing list of "workarounds" for problems that tesla should provide real fixes for.

Yes, but it seems to eventually permanently zoom out to a ridiculously wide angle even when going slow/stopped and I periodically have to zoom it back in to where I want it.

Turning map data off and on doesn't work for me at all after several tries.
What does work every time is switching back and forth between full window, half window, and back.
What I'm not sure of is if it continues updating automatically after that or is frozen again.

Must be different as to what triggers traffic refresh between S and 3. Funny thing is I don't ever remember this happening in my S.

The only time I see it actively updating is when a destination is selected in the NAV, and you are proceeding on a route.

I wonder if there is a API that I can call for this. Nothing in the docs online or even the apk that I had reverse engineered. Anyone has any thoughts?

It appears that recent update 2018.28.5 has fixed this issue!!

Thank you Tesla!!
