At least you can -exclude those names. Gas station convenience stores come up for "grocery store" searches, yet they're all named differently.

Google maps doesn't seem to support `-exclude` like Google/DDG search does.
You're right. I noticed this on Bing Maps before, but hadn't noticed Google following suit.

It makes these sites so much less useful. Their unique location catalog is the reason I usually prefer Google, then Bing, over Here Maps or whatever OSM thing. But it's harder and harder to query it to receive anything useful.
