Google Overrides Hacker’s Turn by Turn Mobile Directions for Europeans

Some hackers managed to get the “US only” free turn by turn directions to work in Europe, apparently on European data. That’s a no-no so far as I understand since it’d have to work against data not licensed for that use. So, Google has “blocked” access to the app outside U.S. boundaries. (I wonder how they do that?)
