Oh dear,

    Navteq have a patent on driving around with a car and recording  
the track:

Sect2=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch- 
bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&d=PALL&RefSrch=yes&Query=PN%2F6674434

We're screwed. Oh well. Maybe we can at least patent the same for  
roller blades, and if that's already taken, maybe for roller blades  
using only one leg?

Bye
Frederik
