I (with the help of Claude AI) have devised an app for your cell phone or tablet that will display approaching cross street names in order of closest first. Store the web address on your phone or tablet. Copy/Paste it into your browser’s address field and it will take you to the app. I found the easiest way to access the app is to send myself an email with the link below copy/pasted into it. Afterward you can go to that email and touch the link.
(Because it’s a web application, you will need cellular data enabled on your device.)
The reason I did this …
One of the things that I liked about the Garmin based map on my car was that in normal operation the map showed the approaching cross streets in large letters at the top of the screen. After an update, the map only showed the street I was driving ON. I mostly already know this! Knowing the cross streets tells me where I AM. (Wouldn’t want to miss that left turn from Speedway to Swan!) On Google (and other) maps, as well as the signs themselves, cross street names are often difficult to see. Remember,

I would appreciate any comments you might have regarding your experience using the app.
