Ever since the DROID came out, everyone has been enthusiastic about the new FREE Turn by Turn Nav feature on it. Those of us with older hardware have been left in the dust (no thanks to Google), until now! I used very similar steps (everyone seems to be doing it a little different) to get Nav running. Personally I recommend using adb from the computer, mainly due to the complexity. I am usually a proponent to doing it only on the handset. But using adb in this instance allows you to do this in record time. I did not use the instructions from this post, I kind of made my own way but after reading these there is no reason you shouldn’t be able to get it going using these instructions. Good Luck!

Your mileage may vary and  if you ask “who is cyanogen or what is root?” you shouldn’t waste your time.

This guy did, what appears to be, a rather good write up (people always beat me to the punch):
