Does the Maps app on the iPhone 4S use data?

Does the maps app that's already on the iPhone use data? I wanna use it as a GPS but don't want to waste data.

Yes it does. It requires an active internet connection to function. All mapping software does.

Even stand alone GPS devices use cellular data, though this is usually covered in your subscription when you buy them.

  • IPhone: Google maps or default apple maps? I personally like the default maps, at least the OS 7 version. (like everyone else who had a brain, I hated the OS 6 version) Which one do you guys like more? Which is more popular now?
  • How to get directions on Apple maps when I don't have data? Today I was walking to some place and I checked directions before leaving home using my Wi-Fi. When I was on the sidewalk I looked at my phone and it was giving me live directions and it knew exactly where I was and how many metres till I will need to turn. I don't even have data on my iPhone so how was it giving me directions? Did I get charged? I'm in Ontario and I'm with chatr mobile. I have an iPhone 5.
