[Talk-us] Battle Grid new & improved

[Martijn van Exel]

Interesting you should ask :) It should come as no surprise that we
have tons of GPS traces. The new battle grid coloring is based on
them. For all kinds of reasons, both legal and strategic, we have been
reluctant in sharing the actual traces, and I don't think it will come
to that solely based on my own readon of our privacy policy
http://www.telenav.com/legal/policies.html  - but it can never hurt to
keep asking so I will.

The battle grid is of course based on an aggregation of the traces
which doesn't come with these challenges.
