If you use the map display, then yes, it will use data. If you use the list display or run it in the background it does not use data. (Only when you update the database)
Please excuse my thickness but does that mean I can get the alerts without actually seeing the map or do I need to have maps displayed all the time?
Wife's magazine has a report which says Google Maps uses 6MB of data in 10 minutes but using Co-Pilot Live Premium works with GPS and does not use any data.

Not thick at all. It's a good question.
No, you don't need an actual map displayed.
Disable data, in the phone settings, and in CA settings choose Show Map, always, and Map Type, standard. You will get a white, blank screen, that displays a camera icon as you approach a camera, complete with warnings according to how you have set them up.
To stop the bright screen in the dark, use List Mode for night time driving.
That's how I run my setup, as I'm using a PND as the navigation device, and therefore don't need a second map. _________________ Richard

Many thanks, such helpful folks in this forum.
I do have a new Snooper GPS but it won't let me input new mobile trap sites not yet in its database which the manual said it would. As mentioned, neither will it audibly warn me if I exceed the limit; again, the manual I read before purchase said that it would. Snooper now admit, after telling me I was "confused", that the manual is wrong.
Therefore not fit for the purpose that you bought it for after being misled by incorrect information given in the manual. Send it back.
You are correct, of course; Snooper offered to take it back and send me a MySPeed Aura instead which, as you will know, is just a speed limit and camera alert with no mapping for £100 or so.
I have been happy with my Snooper Indago but the maps are now out of date and tbe battery is not holding charge so need a new sat nav.
Problem is that I have read poor reports on some other sat nav brands so have decided, with the help of the good folk in this forum, to buy a new smartphone and go with PGPSW.
