Reset the data counter, switched back to phone mode.When I got home my usage was :sent 77.0KB /received 441KB .
The only problem is that could have been when it checked for email?

According to a couple of sites though, Navigon does NOT use any data,so you can use it abroad no problem.

One thing though, it drains the battery fast!! In about 35 minutes went from 100% battery to 70% .
So really need to use with a charger.
So that's probably a "I've got quite close but need final directions to get there" which might just be what I was looking for. I quite like the getting the map out and looking things up. I think if you need to remember to switch data roaming and 3g off (and possibly knock the email pickup off) while your over't water to make sure you don't get stung for data charges!
