Strava abandons Garmin lawsuit, so what was the point of it all?

Don't want to wait until you get home to see your updated Strava rankings? Now you can get them in real time.

As reported today by DC Rainmaker, Strava has dropped its lawsuit against Garmin relating to claimed patent infringement on some of its heatmap and segment features.

A short court filing by Strava simply states that (once you cut out the legal preamble) “Plaintiff Strava, Inc., by and through its undersigned counsel, voluntarily dismisses the above-captioned action, without prejudice.”
