You have two options.
Steering wheel remover, supercrap auto etc, makes it easy.
OR
Muscles. Sit in the seat, put the seatbelt on tight, push against the firewall with your feet and pull the wheel towards you, wriggling the top, sides, bottom etc. It'll release suddenly so be ready.
The second option works about 80% of the time.

Pull harder, it's only held on with spring clips
Helps to pull the horn fuse while you do it, won't piss off your neighbours so much

For that method you should probably invest in a padded jacket or a cushion between you and the seatbelt, I've not taken the steering wheel off a Nav but I have taken them off previous vehicles and you're right it pays to be ready or your ribs may pay for it.

just loosed the nut a few turns, otherwise it can easily break your nose when it pops off!

I wouldn't recommend this method, you can break the shear pin and collapse the steering column!
I dont mean smash the crap out of it!! Just enough to loosen the wheel from the spline. If its been in place since it was originally put on I dont think any amount of pulling will get it free!!
