"Except traffic" is not a little thing. It's like putting up an ad for a house with all the features you'd expect, except a roof.

With my daily commute, there are a dozen routes I can take and traffic conditions make it so that from day to day, there can be an hour difference between different routes. It's literally the only reason I use navigation apps over a cheap GPS unit with no live online connection requirement to navigate.

Traffic condition can only be provided if you track millions of phones. I don't want that, so I opt out. I don't want Google to manage traffic for me.
