 For 3 years I got by on less than 2 gigs of data a month, I traveled for 2 months and since I don't always have wifi I kept upping my data plan, from 6 gigs all the way to 12 gigs!! I got back home doing my exact same routine as before when I had my 2 gig plan. This time I got a notice saying I had used 50% of data on my 2nd day of billing cycle!! I called to see whats going on, and they said to turn of my mobile data usage, when using WiFicause maybe my phone didn't use the wifi, so I turned mobile data off, one week into my plan and im at 90% of usage. I checked which apps used up data and it says it's the GPS, GPS does not use that much!! Even after adding up all the apps data usage it did not even add up to half of what they claim I had used.

 Im using the GPS exactly as much as I use to 3 months ago when I had 2 gigs a month. I assume that you work for some type of Verizon's human relations program

 Actually GPS is one of the most data intensive acts your phone can perform!!! Your GPS is CONTINOUSLY sending a signal as to your position, and it does it in REAL TIME!!! One of the main reasons that most ppl dont use the GPS in thier phone. It kills the battery, generates a LOT of heat and chews data. The ONLY sure fire way to avoid such data overages is to TURN YOUR PHONE OFF WHEN NOT IN USE!!!! Then you are 100% sure you are not using data. Youre NOT going to implode by NOT having your phone on. We are no longer in the MB or KB range for MOST data use. Including for GPS. Im sure if you stopped for a few mins and actually did the math you would understand how much data is being used in any one action. Track your data use as Verizon gives you that ability. Ask yourself this, how much data is being used by your GPS EACH SECOND then add up how long you are using the GPS.
