Is Google maps a widget?

I think it is!
  1. it's a service (so what if it's a smart service).
  2. you can use it anywhere.
  3. it's mashable
One might think reading this list that a widget has to be mashable, that means it has to have an api opened to the world.
where the truth is that a widget is more of a personalized component which google maps isn't.

maybe google maps isn't a widget? sure it is just needed to be more personal.
for instance if could have an ID on google maps, not a developer ID but my own personal ID which could be recognized and used by mashes using google maps (anybody said realestat, job sites?).

this id concept should be thought about more, not only google maps way..
