OP - do yourself a favor, buy a mapbook:
Tear out the page of the town you're delivering to, 'laminate' it with clear packing tape, and stick it in your work bag.
Punching in multiple addresses into a GPS will get you nowhere fast, and no, there is no app for old-school route knowledge.
Some things change with technology, some things don't; in this case a visual map is your best friend, until they perfect the on-windshield-HUD which will tell you where to go (seriously - someone's working on it).
They sent a rookie out on the blind last year, in an unfamiliar town, didn't give him a map...his phone's battery died around 13:00, as he was using google-maps to figure out where he needed to go...the whole affair ended poorly.
just wondering if there is one out there where you can enter your stops in sequence order? seems like it would be a good app when you are learning new runs.
I read the other responses and they all have validity. However, since this is the direction you want to proceed in (and I think is a good idea) , check the app stores and see if such an app is available.

How did any of us ever survive learning new routes with no GPS???
edit: back up such an app with paper maps , so that you don't get left without any mapping resources in the event of a technological failure.
