Even with casual GPS usage, be it facebook or siri, my data rarely goes over 2-3 gigs, and this includes whenever maps or google maps is even
open let alone doing directions or live traffic. I'll take a look at muh bill and see whats what next time i have a minute.
The main thing i use GPS for is directions when i am a passenger in a car, because for some reason people do not trust directions from my brain (being a cyclist i kinda have to know where i'm going, a source of ongoing irritation...
). Sometimes i will use mapmyhike to track grocery trips so i can compare times and speeds laden and unladen, and how different weather affects me or different attire etc.
Today on my way home on a 8 mile round trip, i hit 28.8 mph..... have not been up in the 30 mph range in several years!
