Viewranger is an S60 application that plots your position on an British OS Map and provides a variety of related services and tools. It supports the internal GPS of the Nokia N95 or external bluetooth receivers.
I had first seen this some time ago for sale at an online GPS shop, I was put off by what appeared to be a high price tag, £150 for Maps to cover the whole of Great Britain or £25 for coverage of the national parks. The first price was too high for my casual use and the second OK but didn't cover an area of interest to me. Yet in fact, you can select your own maps from around GB and pay just for those, you can get a sizeable chunk of maps (10,000 square km) for £20 and that includes the application itself! You also get a map of the whole of Britain but at a miniscale rather than 1:25000 or 1:50000 of the paid for maps. Its not obvious at first glance you can get this, look here.
