It means you can use google maps to enter your destination and then send it to the car. Per the services in myaudi, this is an available service even though the audi connect subscription is expired. However, google has trouble sending it to the car more often than not.

Other subject: I have car finder in myaudi on the website from my computer, but I don't have it in the myaudi app on the phone. Only Stolen Vehicle service shows up (other than vehicle status and lock / unlock function. Am I missing something?

Fascinating! It's not explicitly spelled out on the Audi Connect website as a feature in any specific bucket, but I assumed that all Google-related features would be part of the Connect Prime subscription. Sure enough, it shows up as "Service Enabled" for me at audiusa.com/myaudi. I found it to be pretty slow and unreliable when I tried it during the 6-month trial, but I'll play with it again when I get the chance. Thanks for pointing it out.
