########################### use the Service or Content with any products, systems, or applications for or in connection with (a) real time navigation or route guidance based on position input from a sensor (including but not limited to any visual or audible turn-byturn route guidance); or (b) any systems or functions for automatic or autonomous control of vehicle behavior; ########################### Imo I'm not violating (a) because I'm just doing static navigation, just like the Android-Maps-App does, GPS or any other Sensor is not included at any nanosecond during navigation. And imo (b) doesn't apply, because it says sth of "automatic" and "autonomous" which seems to me like we aren't allowed to build autonomous driving killer-androids with the Maps.
