The Garmin Mobile 10 package works great on UIQ3. It consists of Garmin's GPS10x Bluetooth GPS receiver and the Garmin Mobile XT GPS application (which looks just like the Garmin nuvi series UI). I use it daily on my W950i and it's awesome!

It depends upon the country you buy it in I believe. I know for sure that it comes with either the North America maps (if you're in the U.S. or Canada), or the European maps (if you're in Europe). I also know that Garmin has a version of their City Navigator maps for South Africa, but I don't know if you can get them bundled with the Mobile 10 package or not. You might want to check Garmin's web site (http://www.garmin.com) or give them a call.
EDIT: Oops! You said South America and not South Africa. I'm not sure about that one. You'll need to check with Garmin to see if they even have maps for South America.
EDIT #2: The only maps I see for that area are for Brazil. See here:
http://www8.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/citynavbrazilnt.jsp
Also, here's the link to the Garmin Mobile 10 page:
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=9796
Note that Garmin's Mobile Buyers Guide (located here:
https://buy.garmin.com/gmbg/start.faces) indicates that the UIQ3 version is "coming soon". However, I can assure you that it is already available (and has been for quite a while now). You can download the Mobile XT UIQ3 app from here:
http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3589
You can actually download and iinstall it on your P1i now just to see what the UI looks like. However, it won't fully function without a Garmin Bluetooth GPS receiver (either the GPS 10x or the GPS 20SM). No other Bluetooth GPS receiver will work with it so don't even bother trying.

Thanks a lot pal,
So the only thing I need is to buy the Garmin GPS bluetooth reciever.
I'll give them a call to find out where I can purchase maps from south america.

Well, you'll also need the maps too. That's generally the most expensive part!
