Wouldnt think it would use loads as everyone these days is on a limited tariff so would be silly for them to design it this way.
Doesnt it use GPS anyway? Ive got it on my Desire but not actually used it yet

GPS only tells the phone where it is. It has to send and receive data to and from Google via 3G.

Unless the application has focus, ie your current application then the data for the maps downloading wont be that great.
Just the data of location back to Google.
Main thing is the batt usage due to the gps on all the time.
