I get this in dense areas now. I will still get "in a half mile turn left on X street", but when it actually gives me "turn left" I will instead get "take the next left" or "take the second left" if there are multiple streets close together on the left.

When I was less used to using it, it would say "in 1500 feet turn" and then there would be a turn right there, and I'd think that was it, but it wasn't. I had to start gauging how far they meant by it. It does say "second turn" but only when the roads are very close. It would be better if it just always used that instead of these absolute numbers.
