Block data transfer by certain apps?

[piperx]

Does anyone know of a way to block data transfer on an app-by-app basis?

I'm travelling to Canada, and want to use Google Maps to navigate around, but don't want any other apps transferring data given the high $/MB rates.

the latest nightlies of cyanogen mod can restrict any permissions to any apps. obviously needs root also.

i dont think you can do what you are asking without root.
