How Much Data Does Google Maps Use?

On average, Google Maps uses about 0.67MB of data every 10 miles and 0.73MB of mobile data for every 20 minutes.

According to our research, it uses less than Apple Maps but slightly more than Waze.

Does Android Auto require data?

Streaming navigation will, however, use your phone’s data plan. You can also use the Android Auto Waze app to get peer-sourced traffic data along your route. When Android Auto is running, your car’s phone buttons activate Android Auto’s calling functions. You can also use “OK, Google” in many vehicles.

How much data does WAZE use per hour?

Google Maps use around 0.6MB of data per hour and Waze uses only about 0.23MB an hour and it will go lower than that if you plot your directions or maps while you’re on Wifi. Mobile data needs to be turned on for the GPS and other location services running in the background but they, too, use less data.
