Since these points has the same accuracy as loggers that log each second, and probably does not map the exact same spot each time it passes, it can over time be high enough resolution to map the road. It is not low resolution, just low sampling rate. Thus these data can still be valuable if collected over time. This will require some work on the dataset, but there should be people that can do this. I can help you with this. One could for example collect all data, not by vehicle, but by area, so other people could use it for mapping. These data would be annonymized, so that one would not know anything of which driver drove where and when.
