right....got an Iphone 4 which I am going to reactivate as it has not been used for a while
It will just be a phone for the car (old car) as there is a system in the car for it. I really just want it for maps/sat nav etc. although taking/making calls hands free will be available.....
Question.....if I get a pay as you go sim ....will this be enough to activate and use the maps function ?
any advise gratefully received

Maps rely on GPS not mobile data.Originally Posted by Nicerino
Routefinding and traffic use data.
I assume you can download the map for offline use on iPhone (I can on googlemaps on Android) and you can use the routefinder then.
I’ve always turned mobile data off when using Apple maps on iPhone and never had a problem
Maps, Waze etc. use a significant amount of data. They're constantly updating.
If you just wanted to use GPS to see where you are it would be fine, but it's not going to update and give you directions etc without using data.
Your iPhone 4 will be slow as feck by now.

you DL the maps with wifi and doesnt use any data
its free and it works well, updates via wifi
