if u take a macro view, google occupies the space for 'search'.
hence whether it's yr desktop, the internet or GIS (geographical info systems), they'd want to stick their finger in.
once they've established themselves in that space, they own the 'platform' and can go looking for 'application developers' to build LBS (location-based services), GPS or other web2.0 apps on the platform.
imagine they're colonizing virgin territory and just waiting for settlers to ride into town...
