We tested three GPS navigation product for the iPhone and found only Navigon MobilNavigator to be accessible to the blind. The others tested were not accessible with iPhone VoiceOver.
Navigon MobilNavigator will do just as you ask, plot a rout to a location. But just as with any GPS device your should not trust it, excuse the term "blindly" as they can sometime lead you off in strange ways.
