You can use Route 66 or Tom Tom (on and offline) I think and they should work with you GPS BT receiver.

Really dont like the idé of being connected all the time while navigating, but you can download the maps you need from wayfinder to your PC and then send them trough Bluetooth or USB to your phone that way you only download Roadworks and so on trough GPRS/3G, but i think i install Tomtom from my P990 to my P1i anyway.

I also received the wayfinder package with my P1 and i use TomTom navigator 6 together with the wayfinder GPS. The GPS supports the NMEA protocol, which pretty much makes it compatible with any GPS-applications out there.
