Does Android auto use much phone data ?

[Kithmo]

My PAYG phone bundle only gives me about 500Mb of data each month, as I normally only use it for calls and texts. If I connect to Android auto to go on a longer journey, say 2-3 hours would I be using much data running just maps and not streaming music etc ?

Rough guess 20 MB.

Do you have 500 MB or 62.5 MB data per month, not being pedantic. 1MB = 8Mb

20 MB, Thanks.
Sorry I meant 500 MB (megabytes) not Mb (megabits).

There you go. I never knew that. My generation didn't have computers, so we invented them. Every day is school day.

As far as I'm aware it doesn't take much, if you can plan your route before hand at home, say on WiFi then the maps are usually preloaded, the only data use will be traffic updates etc. I'm pretty sure you can "preload" an area of map too, just in case you drive into a dead zone of signal.
