How much data does maps on my iPhone 4S use?

I'm a Canadian headed to the states for a road trip. I'll only be in the states for ax 3 days but I don't have a GPS and was looking to periodically use my iPhone as a way to help not get lost. My service provider has different data plans for the states but I can't decide which one to go with until I know how much data my iPhone will use with JUST the maps on.
Also, does Google Maps use less or more data than the maps app that comes with iOS6?

You won't be using much at all just download the map before you go on your trip you can save maps on your phone

  • Old GPS or iPhone maps or google maps app? I'm going to drive from IL down to SC and I don't trust my old garmin nuvï 255 nor iphone maps lol:-) GPS update is $50 which I'm not going to spend. So has anyone used iphone maps or google maps app on long distance trips? Or I just better use old gps?
  • 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?
  • If I keep my data on but also use Wi-Fi will it use my data? I just got an iPhone from us cellular. I use Wi-Fi to save data, but I can't receive group messages if my data isn't on. If I keep my data on all the time, but use Wi-Fi, will it use my data? And if I keep both on will it use my Wi-Fi instead of data?
  • 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.
