Using Waze satnav in Europe

[phil1979]

I have a 2-day road trip in Germany coming up, where I will be driving about 6 hours on both days.

As I don't have access to a normal satnav, I will be using the Waze app.

Does anyone have a rough idea of what sort of data usage this would incur? Trying to work out if my phone bill will take a hammering.

Thanks

Thanks. Mixed bag thus far then!

AFAIK 3 contract phones already include data with "feel at home", Vodafone offer inclusive roaming on new tariffs, o2 offer a bolt on for £1.99 a day and EE do 50mb for £1 a day

From June roaming across Europe won't have a premium

Thanks all.

I currently have Vodafone with 500meg roaming allowance, so checking it would fall inside these limits. Sounds like it will.

It will easily fall inside that for a 2 day road trip. 100MB max I'd say.

I'm pretty sure that Waze does download the map tiles in advance when you do this. Of course, if you set off & subsequently re-route it'll need to download the new tiles (plus it'll invariably use data to know about reports on the road ahead).

On a 4 hour drive to London from Manchester, without a wifi preload, it used around 50-60MB, recalculating once or twice.

Thanks - good info.
