Google Maps directions text format

Question

Ive noticed that sometimes gmaps directions display a turn like this:

Turn right at Gallardo

and sometimes like this:

Take the 1st left onto Arregui

I need to always see the 1st,2nd,.. like in the second example. Is there a way to receive directions in this format always?. Thanks.

Answer 1

I seriously doubt it. There's no mention of being able to control anything except the language.

Answer 2

I do not believe so. It will give you 2nd left onto .... up to 3rd I believe after that it will just be the street name as per most directions you are given by maps / GPS systems and equipment. (The unwritten rules of the English road directions i guess)
