My user experience on several recent trips is that Google Maps showed me the exit number for the exit I would use next very prominently on top of the display (where it shows the direction of the next turn). Maybe that isn't rolled out

I would start by largely imitating the courses that already exist in the country of Singapore. They are pretty good examples of international best practice, and they are available in English, the language of school instruction in Singapore.
