Does anyone have any idea how much data maps/waze and similar use as I want to use my phone as my satnav when driving...?

Depending on the length of your drive(s), you can consume a LOT of data.
You would be far better off purchasing a travel eSIM from the likes of Airalo or Holafly, or a local SIM / eSIM from MVNO’s like “Tello” or “US Mobile”
If staying for three months, “Mint Mobile” could be a consideration, as you prepay for three months in advance.
The good thing is that, you can buy SIM cards for Tello, US Mobile and Mint Mobile through Amazon, who will deliver them to your UK address, so you can get the SIM cards before you live for the USA. Having done this myself, SIM cards take about 2 weeks to reach you in the UK.
