been playing with nokia maps that they provide for free, seems to do the job, plus their now offering voice guidance, going to check out the trial before i purchase though.
here is the link for more info on that

According to the link in your post it is compatible with N82.

Hi there
no garmin works with internal gps like route 66. I have all 3 on my n95 8gb and only tom tom needs an external gps.
Garmin is sat nav software just like tom tom and route 66 and is free to use once installed unlike nokia maps when you add voice instructions.
Will a phone manufacturer give us personalised txt alerts as a standard feature plz! |

yeah I just followed the installation instuctions on the read me file.
It turned out to be more straight forward than route66 which i needed a certificate for to enable the intrernal gps to work.

forget garmin, its really crap. very confusing an complicated. wish i-go would have symbian support, that the best for me. tomtom has great support and very simple to use, but looks like a child would have draw the maps, bit outdated design. wish one day tomtom will support symbian fones, but still no news of that, however stay stated to work on it
