You need one software on it called "power navigator" and one bluetooth GPS antenna to work.

Power Navigator isn't enough foi point-to-point navigation: all it shows is latitude, longitude, altitude, heading and speed. It's good for map-assisted navigation, but not while driving... at least not without a competent Rally-like navigator.
On my SX1, I use Route66 Mobile 2005, and it works well (despite having a slight delay between the reported position and where we really are): once the initial configurations are done, all I have to do is to select a destination, wait for my BT GPS receiver to get lock on the satellites, and obey the lady's instructions.
I just wish it had a more detailed map of Portugal! Last summer, I went on a trip to Algarve, but, even if I had navigation at that time, I'd be lost: the map has almost no roads at all for that region.
I take the opportunity to ask: are GPS maps universal, or are they in a format specific for each program? If they're universal, perhaps I could get a newer and more detailed map to use with Route66.

Yes as my dear Friend DireWolf said to you dear buddy you could simply as that purchase the route66 program in here:http://www.66.com/, if there is for you country of course because for some countries they still developing it.but you would also needed one bluetooth before you start navigating from you phone SX1 of course.
