Actually it only works properly with a fixed-width font. Proportional fonts have some characters wider than others.

I agree that this is the trickiest situation, so I pick either name from N or S,
preferably the more significant road. Thus the driver coming from E will get
announced "turn left into N, then straight on S".

    N
    N
WWW*EEE
    N
    N
WWW*EEE
    S
    S

Do we have better alternatives? Should we leave the snippet sections unnamed?
