Does here drive+ use my phones credit?

[Windows Central Question]

I was wondering if here drive+ is actually 'free' and if it could be used as a sat nav. replacement, without using the credit on my phone.

Yes it can, but you have to download maps data under settings. If you do not, you will be using your data plan. Also, having traffic option will use data regardless.
