Data usage with Scout GPS Link?

I'm wondering how much data Scout GPS Link uses, say on a trip of a couple hundred miles after inputting a select destination? I'm sure there are variables that affect data usage but would like to get a general idea if it uses a lot of data. Thanks.

 

I wish I could help. I can't even get it to work. It never even finds my Entune.

 

I ended up deleting my Entune app on my iphone. Everytime I got into my truck it asked permission to pair. Got super annoying. Sorry i'm not much help!

 

That's because you have a TRD with integrated Nav, not scout. Two different systems.

 

Ahhh, gotcha. I thought I read somewhere you could use it instead of the integrated Nav. Guess I was wrong. That explains it lol

 

I too am curious how much data Scout will use on a typical trip. Just bought my wife a RAV4 which does not have the Navigation option but Scout was an option, plus a real dedicated GPS we already have so no big deal, however I did try Scout in town and it seemed fine. I read in one location (on the app itself) that you can download a local copy of a map and thus minimize cellular data charges. The maps are West, Central, East and take up as much at 2GB. The download must be done via WiFi (A good thing). But on the website it basically states that the sole purpose of the download was to ensure you have directions for when you loose Cellular Service signal and that cellular service will be used unless it is not available so that leads me to believe that I would never reduce my cellular data plan usage unless I turned off (airplane mode) my cell service, not idea since I'd still like to receive phone calls.

So I'm still trying to figure out what the data usage would typically be as posted by the OP. Myself, I may take a trip from Fredericksburg, VA down to Jacksonville, FL. Direction are not very tuff, hop on I-95 and go south. But I'd like to know about my arrival time, any places to eat along the path.

Two things I really like about Scout is the voice recognition so I don't need to type anything into the GPS, and that it resides on my cell phone so I can take it inside the house and pre-plan my trip and routes. It would have been nice to have it when I visited NYC 3 weeks ago but Google Maps did the job, but its not the same.
