Yes, Apple Maps will do that while you are moving. Blind Square has an option under Tools that will list nearby intersections and tell you the approximate distance and direction. I have it set to clock face, so for example: 51ST and SE Powell 205 feet at 7 o'clock. That is with my phone pointing north. If I turn the phone and wait a few seconds, it will update the direction without my moving. It continues to list intersections on the screen so you can just slide your finger down and find quite a few intersections around you in the comfort of your own home.
