it will use mobile data to to populate the maps but you may well find the map data is loaded when on wifi. If it goes into an area were map data isn't loaded then it will use data.
I used the satnav on my Samsung s2 and found the map coverage was loaded but if I tried it abroad it would use mobile data as the maps were missing. Cracking sat nav on the sammys :)

The gps doesn't use data and you are not charged for using it
 
just find a gps app that uses offline maps and no data will be used
cant really help as to what as i dont use android
 
you can try iGO. it is really good and uses offline maps.
