Question 1

How much cellular data do I need for a 7-day trip overseas?

For standard travel (Google Maps navigation, messaging, web browsing, occasional social media), 1GB per day (7GB total) is usually sufficient. Heavy video streaming or TikTok usage may require 2GB+ per day or Unlimited passes.

Question 2

Does Google Maps use a lot of mobile data while traveling?

Google Maps navigation consumes approximately 15MB to 25MB per hour of continuous driving or walking guidance. Downloading offline maps over hotel Wi-Fi beforehand can cut data usage to near zero.
