FWIW, the Apple Watch offers this. It buzzes or audibly signals one way for turning left and another for turning right. I use it when walking around a new city sometimes.

I love the idea of the shopping list, though not integration with Amazon or having it automatically progress. It doesn't know where things are in my store (and they change), so that doesn't make sense to me. But having it there and being able to see it without taking out my phone would be nice.

What does it do at 5 way intersections? :-D

When I was trying to propose this feature for Microsoft Band , I realized that it worked great in West Coast cities with their nice grid layouts, and also while strolling around Manhattan. Falls apart in a lot of other situations though. :(
