As far as I know, no, the only real-time navigation X-Plane can give you on its own is whatever instruments your aircraft has: an airliner will have MFDs with map views; many light aircraft have the GNS 430/530. These both work a lot better if you enter your flight plan; then you can get distances and times to your waypoints. Even without doing so, you can see your position relative to e.g. nearby airports, and a list of those with distances.

There are also various third-party apps that can accept position data from X-Plane and give you real-time info; here are some examples:

• Plan-G if you're on Windows (with XPUIPC)
• X-Plane to GPS (£0.83/~$1.18?) for Android - makes the whole device think it's where your aircraft is, letting you use any Android aviation app you like such as UK Airspace Avoid, Avare, or various paid options.
• If you have an iOS device (I don't), try Austin's own X-Avion.
