I need to buy a data bolt onfor my Nexus 4 PAYG in order to use the GPS function a couple of times a week for a few hours. With this in mind what package should I subscribe to? Thanks

GPS on it's own is not charged for, used in conjunction with a satnav program it would be the app calling for map updates data over GSM that you will have costs for.

Well that could depend on how far you are travelling. If that's all you intend to use it for then 500 Mb should be enough although you might want to consider using CoPilot or similar where the maps are stored on the phone. It's not free but I find it invaluable.

I drove 5 hours the other day using Google Maps and only used about 15MB of data, if that helps you work things out.
