The latest upgrade does not having eating up a ton of data. I tested it the last two 2+ hour trips I had going home.
They have improved battery life, but it still dropped about 40% during that drive.
I think it used about 8mg of data during the trip. I don't even come close to using even half my data plan, so to me it doesn't matter much.

I posted in the Waze thread about Here and I still like it.
One nice feature about Here is that it not only displays the road speed limit, but you can customize an alarm (visual and/or auditory) for x miles over the speed limit.
You can also download states into your phone so that the nav works even if your cell service is spotty or non-existent. Great for the West.
