Does this mapping app exist?

Many, many years ago while driving in our car trying to get to the IKEA in San Diego I could visibly see, but not figure out how to navigate to (no smart phones then), I wished an app existed (before there were apps) that would help with navigation.

Have you ever seen a distant point of interest you'd like to visit but have no idea what it is or how to get there?

I'd love to be able to open up Google maps on my phone, aim my phone camera at a certain POI, then the app would tell me how to navigate there. GPS knows my location and my elevation as well as the direction my phone is pointed from the built in compass. There are astronomy apps that tell you what constellation you're facing--even through the earth. Have these concepts be merged together to create the ultimate way finding app? Does it already exist because I would love to give it a try?
