Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is true that it uses your cellphone data to get live traffic updates, but seriously it can't be using very much data for that. Not in comparison to email and pictures, social media, etc. So, if data is your concern then you might look and see if there is a model out there that gets around that. I read that there is a TomTom that puts up ads but gives free traffic updates.
