No! it's not a hollow claim.
1. We're talking about the technology invention not the concept and RouteGuru pioneered this technology. Also there's a process in which the landmark intelligence is generated which is legible for a patent as well and RouteGuru has filed one.
2. Why Globally? In many countries, landmark intelligence can fundamentally change the way solutions extend directions today i.e. "Street name based directions", which is a very traditional style.
3. I'll encourage you to read the post again. All we felt sad about was that Google did talk to us, learnt whole lot about Landmark intelligent directions from us and eventually it comes up with a lofty story on how did they figure out the problem, terming it as their own invention and without patronizing RouteGuru at all.
We wouldn't have raised our voice if at all RouteGuru could get a single mention anywhere.

How do you know that they didn't truly come up with the idea on their own? There are thousands of possible ways this thing played out. Maybe the discussions you had were after some people at Google started having that idea. Maybe the people you met had never had that idea, but another employee in the next cubicle was already working on it for months. You don't know how it all worked out. Parallel inventions are common place, especially in this case, since it seems that the idea was fairly obvious and in widespread use in India.
