Default Data usage

What triggers data usage in audiconnect? I have Freedompop recently installed and was shocked that I used 25% of the 2gb plan in only a couple days of general driving. Does google maps need to be turned off completely? I do not stream anything when I'm driving and curious if the iphonex is causing this with hidden apps or if the passenger texting can be a problem or any WIFI connection?

Make sure your WIFI router is deactivated, because smartphones are designed to use WIFI before cell service. If you are traveling outside your immediately area, Google Earth downloads will add up.
