The company I work for does speech recognition on the phone, and we have a driving directions module in our free voice portal. If you want to try it dial 1-800-555-TELL, and say "driving directions". It's just a voice interface, so doesn't show pictures of the terrain, and it doesn't use GPS, so you have to tell it when you've made the turn and are ready for the next direction, and you have to be able to stay connected on the phone for the drive. But, it's free...
