As a followup to this question, which received this fantastic answer, and using the following example...

class Model {
    let mapType = MutableProperty<MKMapType>(.standard)
}

class SomeViewController: UIViewController {

    let viewModel: Model
    var mapView: MKMapView!

    init(viewModel: Model) {
        self.viewModel = viewModel
        super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        mapView = // Create the map view
        viewModel.mapType.producer.startWithValues { [weak self] mapType in
            self?.mapView.mapType = mapType
        }
        // Rest of bindings
    }
    // The rest of the implementation...
}

class SomeOtherViewController: UIViewController {

    let viewModel: Model
    var segmentedControl: UISegmentedControl!

    init(viewModel: Model) {
        self.viewModel = viewModel
        super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
        // Pretend we've setup the segmentedControl, and set its action to `updateMap(sender:)`...
        // The rest of the initialization...
    }

    func updateMap(sender: UISegmentedControl) {
        let newMapType =...
        self.viewModel.mapType = newMapType // How do I update this value?
    }
    // The rest of the implementation...
}

How can I update the value of Model.mapType, and have its changes sent to any observers (like SomeViewController in the example)?

You just need to set its value property, this will trigger changes to be sent to observers automatically.

self.viewModel.mapType.value = newMapType
