iPhone app La Plagne uses location services, will it use lots of data?

Travelling to La Plagne soon and I have found a great iPhone app called La Plagne.
Amongst other things it will tell you where you are on the mountain which for me would be useful as I have no sense of direction at all.
It says it uses GPS by using location services.
I am with 02 and worried if this will cost me lots as I don't normally have the internet on when in France other than when I have wifi.
Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

A lot will depend on how efficient the particular app is though; some download ludicrous volumes of data (either that or they're sending your life history to the NSA) so do keep an eye on it (your phone will let you track data use).

Most of these apps have an option to download a hi res piste map, do that via wifi before you go.
I'll be using the La Plagne one in March. Used the 3V one last year.

15mb on an iPhone is pathetic, i get through that in about 10 mins.
I dumped O2 for this reason and now use Three where they charge £5 a day for unlimited data for Europe. But best of all in some countries they do not charge you at all, its the same as if you were at home. Those countries included Austria and Italy.
