Default Mapping software for a mobile??

Dont want to spend any money, so needs to be something I can find a copy of on limewire or similar, or something freeware.

Got a orange HTC TTY11 phone and its got GPS on it so I figure I may as well install some sort of satnav on it, advice please?

if you get tomtom (that will work with symbian on an N95) from somewhere Chip, or if anyone else has it, if you could burn a copy on a cd or something and bring to the berks meet that would be mint
