You can do this programatically using the Google Directions API and HTML5 Geolocation API.

You can get the location by using this approach
  
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (position) {
    var latitude = position.coords.latitude; 
    var longitude = position.coords.longitude; 
    var coords = new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude);

    var request = {
        origin: coords,
        destination: "{!Account.BillingStreet},{!Account.BillingCity},{!Account.BillingState}",
        travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
    }
There's some sample code available here (http://github.com/sready/Directions) and a tutorial (https://developer.salesforce.com/blogs/developer-relations/2013/12/extend-your-salesforce1-app-with-mobile-cards.html) which should be helpful. Please post another thread if you face any issues.
