Google Maps also uses landmarks, eg "turn right after the GameStop". AFAIK those aren't sponsored

Problem is that when I'm driving I'm not paying attention to businesses around me. I've gotten a direction once like take left at Starbucks, how far is the starbucks away, is it the next left or the one after that? Now I need to glance for a Starbucks while I'm driving?
