You may be a week to late (smile.)  There is Wayfinder Access for the 
N82, but it was announced a couple days ago that it is being 
discontinued -- no further development.  Current owners will get 
support and data connections, and there may still be some licenses 
out there.  There is also lodestone GPS, which I think is limited but 
free.  Otherwise there is the Sendero stuff for smartphones, braille 
note etc.  It is good but more money.
