Hi. How do you use the offline mode?

About plus/minus 1MB per hour, however Satellite view will absolutely suck data.
thanks, will it save data if let the iphone navigate in locked mode ?
Apple's Maps app uses vector graphics, so it doesn't have to download data everytime your view changes, & also has an offline mode...you can download quite a large area over WiFi & then use this cache to navigate.
So, I really wouldn't worry too much about its data usage. Most tests I've read indicate it uses about 80% less data than Google Maps.
i am just asking, because i will travel a big 15 hours distance soon by using navigation in foreign countries, so thatswhy i want to try to use as little data as possible. If using navigation in lock-mode needs less data, of course i would prefer to use this, even though it is nicer to have maps running all the time.
