Narrative:

On taxi out of phl GA ramp, we were instructed to taxi via taxiway a, taxiway D, taxiway G, and hold short of runway 35, expect runway 27L. I taxied taxiway a, turned left on taxiway D, crossed the end of runway 26. I should have turned right to get to taxiway G. There are no signs showing which way to taxiway G. It is confusing to turn right to get to taxiway G when you are going to runway 27L which is the other way. The commercial chart also is confusing because it looks like taxiway D does not cross runway 26.
