How do you think rerouting and traffic notifications would work without back and forth communication? You can of course turn off location services, but than you lose the functionality of these features.

I am not saying traffic feature is bad. I am criticizing the little control we have to not contribute to the statistics. Google is a monopoly and decisions are made by them with little control over our devices.

Traffic feature is cool and for it I would contribute, but just pointing out that google hasn't done it in the best possible way to gather statistics. I wouldn't use traffic feature from google for this one reason.
