Prepend to Gmaps directions element

I'm using the Google Maps JavaScript API and I would like to prepend the phrase "Starting From" to the ".adp-placemark" class that is included in the directions output by Google:

$('.adp-placemark').prepend('Starting From:');

The prepend is not working. However, if I view the page and use the Console tool in Inspector and then run the above code it will prepend as it should.

Where do I place this code? I've also tried placing it in a separate function and inside document ready.

function initMap() {
  var directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer;
  var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService;
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    zoom: 7,
    center: {lat: 41.85, lng: -87.65}
  });
  directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
  directionsDisplay.setPanel(document.getElementById('right-panel'));

  var control = document.getElementById('floating-panel');
  control.style.display = 'block';
  map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_CENTER].push(control);

  var onChangeHandler = function() {
    calculateAndDisplayRoute(directionsService, directionsDisplay);
  };
  document.getElementById('start').addEventListener('change', onChangeHandler);
  document.getElementById('end').addEventListener('change', onChangeHandler);
}

function calculateAndDisplayRoute(directionsService, directionsDisplay) {
  var start = document.getElementById('start').value;
  var end = document.getElementById('end').value;
  directionsService.route({
    origin: start,
    destination: end,
    travelMode: 'DRIVING'
  }, function(response, status) {
    if (status === 'OK') {
      directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
      $('.adp-placemark').prepend('Starting From:');
    } else {
      window.alert('Directions request failed due to ' + status);
    }
  });
}

EDIT: As mentioned in the comments the first solution was incomplete as the 'Starting from:' was added to both tables (which I missed the first time)

In order to solve it using only CSS you could add nth-child(n) selectors to find the .adp-placemark you with to include the prepended text, like so:

    /* Pseudo-element to add 'Starting from:' to the first element that appears */
    .adp > div:nth-child(2) .adp-placemark::before {
      content: 'Starting from:';
      white-space: nowrap;
    }

    /* Pseudo-element to add 'Going to:' to the second element that appears */
    .adp > div:nth-child(3) .adp-placemark::before {
        content: 'Going to:';
        white-space: nowrap;
    }

On the other hand since the right-panel code is been generated by the Google Maps Api I wouldn't attempt to programatically change the generated HTML, because eventually the API may provide a different structure, which would make the solution to fail (been the solution in js or css).

One way to go about solving this issue would be to include a css pseudo-class to the .adp-placemark, removing the need to get the timing of the table rendering right, like so:

.adp-placemark::before {
    content: 'Starting from:';
    white-space: nowrap;
}

I've also updated your snippet:

function initMap() {
  var directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer;
  var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService;
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    zoom: 7,
    center: {lat: 41.85, lng: -87.65}
  });
  directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
  directionsDisplay.setPanel(document.getElementById('right-panel'));

  var control = document.getElementById('floating-panel');
  control.style.display = 'block';
  map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_CENTER].push(control);

  var onChangeHandler = function() {
    calculateAndDisplayRoute(directionsService, directionsDisplay);
  };
  document.getElementById('start').addEventListener('change', onChangeHandler);
  document.getElementById('end').addEventListener('change', onChangeHandler);
}

function calculateAndDisplayRoute(directionsService, directionsDisplay) {
  var start = document.getElementById('start').value;
  var end = document.getElementById('end').value;
  directionsService.route({
    origin: start,
    destination: end,
    travelMode: 'DRIVING'
  }, function(response, status) {
    if (status === 'OK') {
      directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
      $('.adp-placemark').prepend('Starting From:');
    } else {
      window.alert('Directions request failed due to ' + status);
    }
  });
}

You need to wait for the side panel to be rendered (the Google Maps Javascript API is event driven and asynchronous). Adding a setTimeout around the prepend operation works (proves the concept, although it's kludgy):

setTimeout(function() {
  $('.adp-placemark').prepend('Starting From:');
}, 500);

(You also need to add jQuery to your code snippet for it to work...) That causes the browser to delay the prepend operation until after the rendering of the side panel is complete. 

function initMap() {
  var directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer;
  var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService;
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    zoom: 7,
    center: {
      lat: 41.85,
      lng: -87.65
    }
  });
  directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
  directionsDisplay.setPanel(document.getElementById('right-panel'));

  var control = document.getElementById('floating-panel');
  control.style.display = 'block';
  map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_CENTER].push(control);

  var onChangeHandler = function() {
    calculateAndDisplayRoute(directionsService, directionsDisplay);
  };
  document.getElementById('start').addEventListener('change', onChangeHandler);
  document.getElementById('end').addEventListener('change', onChangeHandler);
}

function calculateAndDisplayRoute(directionsService, directionsDisplay) {
  var start = document.getElementById('start').value;
  var end = document.getElementById('end').value;
  directionsService.route({
    origin: start,
    destination: end,
    travelMode: 'DRIVING'
  }, function(response, status) {
    if (status === 'OK') {
      directionsDisplay.setDirections(response);
      setTimeout(function() {
        $('.adp-placemark').prepend('Starting From:');
      }, 500);

    } else {
      window.alert('Directions request failed due to ' + status);
    }
  });
