You can get it from the Garmin website.

The HTC distributor in SA, Leaf Wireless, also sells Garmin Mobile XT on an SD card.

I use Handymap - I find it better than Garmin www.handymap.co.za you can try it for free before you buy.

are there any free options that i can use, instead of it being free in the beginning, then gotta pay...

Here's a couple of freewares that Google turns up. None of them are going to be anywhere near Garmin or TomTom, that's why those softwares are so expensive.

Honestly, I don't think you're gonna get better than GoogleMaps for freeware

I just saw this thread: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?217898-WAZE-Free-GPS-Navigation-with-Turn-by-Turn

As for Leaf Locate, the last time I used it, it didn't have turn-by-turn navigation. Your best bet would be to actually install a few apps and decide whats best for you.
I think Leaf Locate also uses a data connection for updating the maps as you move (like Google Maps)... I stand to be corrected though - it's been a long time since I used this

That's how I understand it too. Also, it doesn't plot your position - it's basically just a map on your phone.

I bought my HTC with Navigon 6.0 installed and 3 years later it still works.
Great programme with turn by turn. Don't know if it will dissapear one day though.

I'm gonna be selling my handymap shortly (probably migrating to Android) ( I think it will just require you to change the name of owner temporarily and change it back ). You get unlimited map updates for life. PM me if you interested.
