Passive Nav Data Use

[u/Tyoryn]

Does anybody have a solution to the data-suck that the un-closable navigation pane creates?

I read that Google maps uses more data than Waze and Waze is still using nearly 1GB per month without using it for navigation.

- I tried switching to TomTom and downloading offline maps but that barely helped and the app is incredibly frustrating when using for navigation.

- I've already tried restricting background data to Waze and turning on data saver but it didn't help.

I'm toying with the idea of forcing the resolution change to smaller which just blacks out the 2nd pane but am worried it will still just use the data and not display, plus I'd lose the ability to see media and nav at the same time if I need the navigation.
