best way to go is get a bluetooth GPS receiver and download one of the free map applications..
google maps, map4pda or microsoft live search...

none of these applications will give you audible directions but will show your position on the map with the receiver...otherwise your going to be paying $200+ for the audible direction applications

It saddens me that there is no way to use the internal GPS system.

Note that not all "SmartPhone" versions will run on the Q (check to be sure).
Some companies sell a specific version for the Q.

See list here.

http://www.buygpsnow.com/smartphone-gps_99.aspx

I run Mapopolis on my Wifes Q. But Mapopolis is no longer doing business. The software is free but you need to get the maps. Not sure if they still sell the maps.

It's crazy to price the software more than $100.00 these days with the prices of all in one units now under $200.00.

Will any of the mapping programs allow downloading of maps ahead of time for offline use? When I've ever needed a GPS/navigation its been out someplace where there is no phone signal.

That's because it's an aGPS system, not full GPS. However, if you have a Sprint Q, I wonder if Telenav might work with it.

I assume you mean any of the online mapping programs; there are mapping and navigation programs that allow you to install maps on the Q, and those obviously don't require a phone connection.

See the Any Q compatible GPS Software besides CoPilot Live Q Edition? thread for details.
