Pretty impressive post.

I think this is what you are asking along with the answers:

GPS: no
Data: depends on your data plan and if you have hit your plan limits.

You can use Google's Navigation for free as much as you want.

*NOTE*
GPS still uses a data plan to download the maps, so make sure you don't use all of your data if you don' have unlimited.

Install offline navigation softwares like Ndrive or IGO

just to clarify, the GPS radio itself wont' use data, but the apps will as they update their maps and as for routes.

dont' use the AT&T BS, use google maps or mapquest if you don't care about data use since both are free.

And you're going to have Wifi in your car how?

Even if you did, (I do know a few cars have wifi hotspots as features), they all come with GPS navigation standard in those packages AFAIK.
