I don't doubt it uses the data pipe frequently, but have you measured the actual data transfer? Just because you're making a lot of transactions doesn't necessarily mean you're consuming lots of data. Unless you're a cab driver or pizza delivery guy I can't imagine you need to use your GPS THAT often.
Lets say XM is streaming at 80kbps. If you listened to music for 8 hours:
8 hours = 28800 seconds
80kbps x 28800 = 2,304,000 kbits = 288,000KB.
So, 5GB would equal around 145 hours of streaming music! Even if you had higher quality, that's a tremendous amount of time to spend on your cell. |

| I wonder how many streaming XM subscriptions they have sold? I looked at it very briefly and it appeared to be worthless. And I have been a regular XM subscriber for years.

said by djrobx:Unless you're a cab driver or pizza delivery guy I can't imagine you need to use your GPS THAT often. You forget that GPS/mapping apps also have real-time traffic. For those of us with long commutes the ability to see traffic info in real time is more important than the mapping capability. Now that I have a phone with integrated GPS I basically turn it on every time I get in the car, just so the traffic function can warn me of anything I need to avoid. |
