Maps Update

This thread should probably be moved to the "User Interface" sub-forum.
I believe map updates take place constantly. People are often reporting them, hoping for them, etc.
That being said, I received the first one I've ever received since taking delivery about sixteen months ago just a couple of days ago. So it's possible that there is a bit of a push happening now, or perhaps you and I just happened to receive our map updates at around the same time.
Edit: Checking the "User Interface" subforum, there are a couple of Maps threads in which a lot of people are reporting getting maps updates in the past few days. Here they are--
Maps Update
Nav map update Jan 2016

It appears that I may have it as well:
From Model S:
From Model X:
3.6 GB of ssh traffic yesterday just after midnight on Model S from Amazon AWS. Could be an update being positioned, I suppose, but I don't have any notifications of an update.
(I'm on a business trip, so it's unclear and I don't plan to bug the wife.
)

Just came looking for this thread because there's a post in the "News" section on this (that should get moved here) and I wanted to check if others were receiving updates as well. I too received my first maps update since taking delivery in December 2014 two days ago. So it would appear some sort of major map update is in progress.

It's possible that the update may have downloaded (or mostly downloaded) over wifi, and then needed some processing time, so only showed you that it was completed while you were away from wifi, when in reality the download, or at least most of it did take place over wifi.

First update, 4 months ownership.
Forgot to add, in my prior experience with vehicles with nav systems, this update would be an additional $300-500 (I have yet to update my X5). And you would have to either get the new DVD/CD or USB download, either through the mail, or through your helpful dealership. This is on top of the 3000-5000 you paid for the Navigation software/hardware you had installed in your car. Yes you can argue we already paid for it... but ain't it awesome, OTA!

I had a message that said "congratulations you have the most current maps" or something like that, but now my trip planner doesn't work. I have a whole host of other bugs going on with my car that Tesla is investigating so this glitch may be related but it's pretty lame my trip planner doesn't work too.

Got mine yesterday, but haven't tested yet. Any idea what it includes? Updated maps from Google and/or improved capabilities?
That is not correct, in my experience. I got my latest update a few days ago while traveling and my S was not on wifi.

You'll find a back-and-forth on this earlier in this thread. Net is, the manual says updates come via WiFi only, but there are now multiple people that have verified receipt via cellular. Appears Lexus has changed their approach and not updated their documentation.

Oh well, there you go again being a great checker of facts to keep everyone honest. Were you a certain teacher I remember from a previous life? AHAHAHA Yes, my typo, S/B "Tesla" in that reference.Lexus, huh? OK, fine, but what about Tesla?
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.
