It is correct that utilities which would enable you to "flee" could be viewed as damaging in a criminal case against you if you had them in the vicinity of the border between the GDR and FRG. So it isn't illegal, however after reunification I know of plenty people who did protests in the free West that had trouble with police/courts for having navigation utilities on them.

map of army locations
map of fascist locations in a city
