Hoping to start new job shortly and will need to use Sat-Nav most of the day (3 days a week), Thinking using phone (google maps) but phone is currently on pay as you go sim only, looking to putting it on contract but don't know how much data I might use, Don't want to be stuck with high monthly bill if job does not work out so looking at unlimited calls and Text so I can keep costs down by not having unlimited Data, question is how much data would I use

Google maps doesn't use much data if I'm correct a few mps per hour.
You can get great deals on 5GB usage now a days. £14 a month I got for my son that's including a new oppo mobile phone. Plus Google also has a download feature

I get 10gb for £10 with Vodafone SIM only from a couple of years ago so you can likely get more data or for a lower price today.

Unlimited as bolt on data is expensive and I 2nd Waze. Uses lots of battery tho, so turn off Waze when not using it.

Vodafone unlimited lite is currently £22 p/m.

Be aware that the lower unlimited data tariffs have speed limits which is probably not an issue for nav usage but still, if you can get a non-restricted tariff that provides you with the amount of data you need then it may be a better option.
