Solutions: The car is asking you to connect to wifi. Please find a good wifi source and connect to it.

Yes, your firmware update is up-to-date but you map is not.
The map needs lots of bandwidth. I think as long as you got a reliable hotspot 24/7 that does not time out, you will eventually get the map download.
Until then, sorry about missing your navigation.

I don't know. I think Apple phones love to go to sleep because it's famous for battery conservation. It's possible that all brands would automatically shut the hotspot down after a while.
But, it doesn't hurt to try.
I've never had the navigation data totally disappear even when it was prompting for a new map database to be downloaded. Not impossible that's your problem, but not something I've every experienced, even when I was away from wifi for a few days and it was indicating a new NAV maps update was available.
It appears by your 2020.xx software build you're still on MCU1 and have not done the upgrade to MCU2. Another possibility is I've seen some reports of people having the SIM card used to store the navigation data with MCU1 go bad. This appears to be a different SIM storage card than the eMMC chip which fails and subject to the recall. If failure of the NAV sim card is the issue, you'll either need to book a service appointment with Tesla to get the card replaced, find a 3rd party shop that will do it, or attempt it yourself (it does involve I believe removing a lot of the dash/trim around the MCU as I believe the card may plug into a slot on the right side of the screen).

Here's link to a thread that speaks to similar symptoms with failure of the NAV sim card being the issue.

“Navigation Update Required”, nav won’t work
Reboot and nav is back, but GPS location is off by a few hundred feet, ie I’ll hit the turn and then get the “In 500ft turn left” instruction. Will try another reboot later today. Now I’m wondering if my ongoing GPS issue (off by 25 feet to many miles) that I’ve been having for a year or so...

I had this same issue and had to take my car to the SC. The challenge was that my car went offline when a software update got stuck at 30% according to the tech. They updated me to the latest software and restored my saved settings.
Can you access your car via the app? If not, I suspect you have the same issue as I had.
