You are overlooking or discounting multiple things:

  not everyone is in EU and travels only to EU

  online routing involves disclosing location and destination to web
  services, which is a serious security problem

  You should come to the US sometime.  Or even go to the Highlands of
  Scotland.  You will find that there are large areas that do not have
  cellular service.

If traffic and incident data can be downloaded in blocks that don't leak
too much privacy wise, that sounds like a great improvement.
