From the look of it it seems the company is trying to get the courts to prop up their failing business model. If they think the only way Google can monetize their operation is by eliminating competition first than they are seriously deluded. Why only Google? Why not sue mappy, viamichelin, and all the other companies providing free maps.
Also, you can't sue for just any reason. You have to make a valid case that the company is doing direct harm to your business. If companies could sue for any reason the free market would grind to a halt as failed businesses sue successful businesses for being successful. What you can do is send a stupid letter and a press release saying you are going to sue. They are hoping Google will settle before it reaches court, because the judge will take one look at this case and throw them out on their asses.
