I do not think the tarrif is an issue here. I was trying to use up my at&t pay as you go plan which is normally a slug (edge (2G?)). I had previously noticed that ModRana did fairly well with Google maps when using this at&t plan and was checking to see if the recent upgrade improved the process of tiling of the Google Maps as well. Anyways, I checked what was left on my plan before and after I had done the test. There was 13mb before I did the test and 13mb after so I think nothing, or very little data was transfered. Google maps would probably have eaten up a noticeable amount. So I will try again later. Regardless, thanks for your help.
