Orange Maps free on the HTC Hero for £30 +higher monthly plans. (Orange UK)
HotUKDeals Forum - View Single Post - Orange Maps are now available for the HTC Hero - "Free" for those on some packages.
Quote:
To install these, disable Wifi and connect via GRPS/HSDPA
Go to http://orangeworld.co.uk on your Hero
Scroll down on the page until you see the "Download Orange Maps - free in your plan" and tap on it
On the next page select on "Download Orange Maps" to download.
Once downloaded, tap to install and whilst installing it will ask about installing non marketplace apps, tick the "Unknown sources" box then the back arrow to install!

Should feed your GPS needs whilst waiting for 2.0! 
EDIT It kept force closing for me on the initial launch if the phone went into standby. I stopped the screen from fading by tapping it and that seemed to solve it for me. Once it was set up it was all goood!
