In fact, I could have swear that the subject of warnings and injunctions for the illegal use of city maps has been a thing of the past for many years, at the latest since Google Maps. Well, that is how one is mistaken, and it was up to the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt to decide on such a matter.
