In places like India, where landmark-based navigation is the norm or there aren't many road names (especially outside of large cities), Google Maps uses businesses as landmarks. A random example:
https://goo.gl/maps/JwVHDycGTfE2 https://goo.gl/maps/JwVHDycGTfE2
Head southeast on hanuman galli Rd toward Kalyan-Badlapur Rd
Pass by Gopal Cooperative Housing Society (on the left)
400 m
Turn left at Shubharamb Wedding Cards & Corporate Designs onto Kalyan-Badlapur Rd
Pass by Hamilton Cycles Industry (on the right in 1.1 km)
1.9km
