My Smart has Apple Car Play and unfortunately both Waze and Apple Maps lock up; the Tesla nav system is far superior. Unfortunately, the Smart does not have built-in nav.

The map version is the bit arrowed. EU-2021.8-12875 is the latest UK version, but seems to be very limited in scope.

Somebody had hidden the wireless access point at the front of the house behind the tv so the M3 wasn’t picking up a WiFi signal, I moved it a couple of days ago and sorted the signal out.
When I got in the car today, it automatically routed me to work and I noticed that all the new warehouses behind the office are now on the map so I’ve got the new maps. It’s good timing as I’m planning a road trip to Scotland in a few weeks.

Just got my car back from a 4 day visit to the Park Royal SC and the new maps have appeared - not sure if it was triggered by the "firmware check and install latest version" item on the invoice (0 cost) or not but firmware still on 4.18, not .2 or .3 so maybe not ... Wonder if that means they have a "magic" WiFi there that all cars automatically know about?

I drove the new A1-Cambridge section of the A14 last night, East bound on AP & phantom braking no longer occurred compared to the 2019 map (nor on the 165 miles from J16 M6 to A14 Bury St Edmunds, autopilot throughout).
Yes there is although it’s not magic. Back in the day some owners would drive to the SC just to get inside the WiFi zone, hoping to force an update. That was back when updates brought meaningful changes but it didn’t seem to make the car jump the update queue.

Yes, this was not an issue on the old version. I drive this stretch of road regularly so won't be using TACC there untill the next map update
Came up to the junction at the end of my road on AP. The junction is immediately behind a L/H bend and blind to me. AP used to pick it up and stop there.
Not on the new map! Yet another junction down the road is obscured by the brow of a hill. It still stops for that one!

Looks like I am receiving or have received the 2021 Nav update??
What is interesting is that yesterday my iPhone stopped acting as a key to the car, so I had to authorise it again, and today, the Wi-Fi connection failed, and I had to re-boot the car by pressing the 2 scroll buttons to allow Wi-Fi to work again.
