Weee!
Here's some crappy photos I took of it. These happen to all be up close, so the green line starts to show separation detail.
If you notice that the green area of the route line changed position; it was due to me changing the zoom level in/out on the navi. I could consistently make the green areas of the blue line change where it showed, just by zooming in or out.

6 days max? So by next week?
It was sarcastic. No one knows the release schedule. It looks like a very very slow rollout. It's only been installed on 8 cars on Teslafi so far. This likely will not be going to all cars anytime soon.
Historically speaking, the updates right after a wide rollout (like 2018.21.9) only go to a small number of cars. It will be a slow trickle. And then there's a medium-ish sized update that goes to 30-50% of the fleet. But for new owners, I'd recommend to expect in the worst case you'll be on 2018.21.9 for another 2-3 months until the next wide rollout…. And if you get one sooner, it's a pleasant surprise (or a horrible nightmare if you get one of the interim updates that have bugs)
No, prior GPS database was Garmin now it's TomTom. AP2 also used Garmin before switch to TomTom in 2017.

I wish, I can sign myself up as Beta tester, early adapter, sign some sort of online waiver saying; I don't mind getting test version of the FW.. lol
Ditto. Just like how Windows lets you choose to be an insider and choose to be on the slow or fast track…. I understand what I am signing up for, and I still want to do it! Please give us the option without having to go around begging service centers to waste their time pushing updates.

This concept works fine (and indeed can be very helpful) in large, established product markets for things like operating systems. Not so much in emerging technology areas where >>50% of your user population is likely to identify as an early adopter and want the bleeding edge immediately. Much more prudent to centrally manage your releases in markets like that.
There’s also the matter that even the stuff hitting the fast ring on Windows Insider is light years more polished than even Tesla’s GA releases, and the stakes are much lower in the case of significant failure.

Yeah, from the pattern I've seen, it looks like:
Bi-weekly - Limited release (new features, AP refinements) to less than 10% of cars.
Monthly - Small to mid-size release (refinements of the new features) to around 25-40% of cars.
Bi-monthly - Mid-size release (more refinements of new features) to around 40-60% of the cars.
Quarterly - Mass release (when all refinements are mostly stable, major feature update) to catch up the entire fleet.
Going by this schedule, I'd guess that the next major quarterly (expected August/September timeframe) would be 9.0. Whatever that means...

Not to dampen your enthusiasm, but posting that you're installing something that you hope is 2018.24 doesn't really give any useful information.
Next time, it might be good to wait a few more minutes until the new version is installed and you've tried it out...you can make a much more content-ful post that way.Thanks,
Bruce.
Yeah, it’s like we might accidentally fill up the interwebz...Since when do the posts need actual content?

Weee!
Since when do the posts need actual content?
Because threads grow out of hand, then people don't want to sift through a bunch of jabber to find useful answers to their questions, then people ask a question that's already been answered because they gave up looking for an answer because it was buried in a bunch of jabber, then other people get all pissy because someone is asking a question that has already been answered elsewhere but is buried in a bunch of jabber that makes it impossible to find, then the original person thinks the other people are a bunch of know-it-all jerks that aren't willing to help or understand that he/she has already tried sifting through all the jabber looking for the answer to their question that they originally had but can't find the answer to because it is buried in all the jabber.
Besides..... we have Facebook for that stuff
Seems to be the real problem... People just need to relax in general. We’ve got freaking Teslas, life is good.
