I´m checking airport charts but sometimes i don't see the taxiway signs at the taxiways and therefore miss my taxi route. Is there an addon or a tip you can tell me about so I can improve my taxiing quickly?

Count the taxiways on your chart between you and your destination. Keep your finger on the chart while you taxi.suuuuper simple Things like that.

What simulator software are you using?

Independent from the SIM software, do as described by Michael - we sometimes count the taxiways in the real world as well.

If you want a third party software, I highly recommend LittleNavMap. It is freeware and is actively being developed and improved.

If you use X-Plane, Airport Navigator is a great plugin for airport taxiing. I use it for situational awareness at complex airports, in addition to pdf aerodrome charts. It's an airport moving-map that shows your position on the airport in relation to taxiways and runways.

If you have Navigraph download their charts app. It has live maps included and you can see your position on your taxi chart

Navigraph Charts will show you real-time on the airport diagram chart where your plane is. Plus you also get updated charts as they are released. If you sim it is well worth the annual subscription cost.
