Does Waze work offline ? What is its internet usage ?

Can be Waze navigation used without internet connection ? How much data per hour does it use on average ?

Waze needs internet connection for the navigation purpose.

It is not built to work offline. It downloads some data, but without an internet connection, it has only limited functionality.

The usage of data depends on case. Waze in general doesn't use much data. Daily data consumption is often a couple of megabytes.

The average data consumption in case of Waze is up to 1 MB per hour.

According to some users, the data usage can be even less than 0,5 MB per hour.

Waze is a good application with low data consumption. On the other side, like similar navigation apps for smartphones, it drains battery quite a lot because of GPS and internet connection. So it is necessary to have your smartphone battery charged before long journeys.
