Will I need an internet connection ?

[AC Question]

Using Google Maps will this use my data?

Yes it will count towards your data unless you have wifi at home or use a hot spot like at Starbuck or something.

Like the previous reply stated, Google Maps does require an active internet connection, BUT it does allow for offline use if you download the map area you're going to be in beforehand. Bear in mind, however, that per privacy claims, security reasons, map royalties, etc., some regions do not allow Offline downloads. Also remember that certain features like voice navigation and turn-by-turn directions are not available offline.

@SpookDroid hit the nail on the head. It should be noted that those features that require online access should use minimal data.
