New Nav maps coming?

[MarcG]

I'm currently on the latest firmware update I know of (2020.12) and my Navigation maps are at 2019.20, which I believe is also the latest.

[Side note: when I got my HW3/FSD computer hardware upgraded at the beginning of the month, the maps version had reverted to 2019.6, and as I was retrieving my car from the service center, it prompted me to update Nav maps to 2019.20, which was the latest at the time per Tesla's tech. This was just over two weeks ago.]

However, my car has been downloading a large amount of data (over a gigabyte so far) in the last hour and is continuing to download something at a rate of 20Mbps on average.

Could this be the sign of a new Nav maps update?

Lol. Ok download complete, looks like it was about 5.5GB. I'll check the screen in the car a little later this afternoon to see what's up, but so far no notifications from the car on my phone.

Wrong thread location. User Interface section:

Navigation update 2020.12 is out!

Yep, it was a Nav update: 2020.12

Wish it was seamless updates like google maps but Tesla's updates are way faster and better than any other car manufacturers (without Apple Carplay or Android Auto).

I just checked mine. I'm still on 8.1 but somehow have the 2020.12 maps. Had no notice.

Yeah me neither, usually a message pops up on the screen stating "Your nav system is now using the latest maps" or something to that effect.

EDIT: found the message I got on my S a while back, not sure if I ever got this on the 3 though

Looks like Nav maps 2020.12 are a prerequisite for the upcoming "Stopping at Traffic Lights and Stop Signs" feature, per this news article:

Tesla self-driving traffic light and stop-sign interaction explained in leaked manual - Electrek

Ensure the latest version of maps (NA2020.12-11866 or newer) has been downloaded to Model 3Model Y

Also looks like only for Model 3 and Model Y for now? Unless the manual is different enough for X & Y that their manuals have a different code base.

right, you won't get any notification about the map update. It just happens.
