Absolutely this! I would add to this: street view, traffic prediction, search on maps and smartphone that can handle all of that. In last decade I've moved a lot and applications like Google Maps and Apple Maps saved me countless times. This is not sexy tech but actual, useful tech that improved lives of millions of people.
