In most situations, 2 MB of data per hour of active use with an automotive device is a reasonable estimate for data usage. For example, if the device is used 5 days a week on a 30-minute commute each way, the Garmin Drive App would use about 40 MB of data per month. Phones battery should display little to no impact.
Sorry, there was a problem.

It’s worth mentioning that if you do not need live traffic then you do not need to use your phone at all, the unit itself has maps in memory, just make sure they are up to date.
