Can your finger follow (ie. "actively track") a map? If so then it seems the same to me.

But let's put all of the deep-seated moral objections aside for a minute and focus on something practical: even if you somehow magically convinced the GMs to change their minds and ban this app IT WOULDN'T MATTER. Unless the devs also banned all log reading programs, and patched in an anti-cheat program to run alongside EQ and search for apps that are reading the log, there is nothing that the devs can do to stop this app.

ANY log reading program will (for the most part) be undetectable, which means it doesn't matter what your moral quibbles are, in practical terms there's nothing you can do about them.
