Also, would it be fair to say that if most users are finding this app to be working fine, even though it's in the devel section, it should be OK to go for it?
Just wait until the app is available in Maemo Extras........

it seems to be here in extras:
http://maemo.org/downloads/Maemo5/navigation/
where I can download an install file (to my PC currently as barely 2G reception at the mo)
If I downloaded this to PC, can I transfer to right folder (where?) on the N900 via USB and mass storage mode, and execute it?

App Manager (or Ovi) is the preferred way to install applications, as it'll automatically handle any dependencies that the application has.

Just wanted to say thanks for the help.
I understand the way things are done much better now.
I installed the extra's version, then (almost immediately) found a link stating that version wouldn't download what I want due to a change in the geocaching website, so went for a 'he who dares Rodney' and added the devel repository and installed the latest, which works really well.
Cheers guys.
