Here are some practical innovations that are usefull when i'm going out with my car.
When you lookup a bussiness in Chrome/Google on my PC, Google Now (your mobile) will suggest the navigation to this business, included with traffic delays. Just click on it (you don't have to enter an address), and it will navigate to that place. (ps. this is a less user friendly method: http://gps.about.com/od/gpsmapscharts/ht/google_garmin.htm )
Traffic delays can be calculated by people who navigate with Google Maps (or are using Google's Localisation Service).
Low Battery localisation (with WIFI) can be calculated by the combined power of collecting MAC-address by the Android platform and/or the cars that are used for Google Street View.
I can view the surroundings of where i'm going with Google Street View in my navigation app. It will ask me if this information is correct, if it's not correct. I can correct it and the business has a improved place on the Google Maps platform.. (without doing it themselves)
Google+ is not only a social network. It's an authentication system where the pk is your email, the frontend is www.google.com/+ (social network) and the backend is a collection of meta-data (big data?) that can be used to make your life easier... And on top of that big data, you have a learning skynet ;-)
