You can use all the Java options available for other phones, which has
options for both saving tracks and viewing maps, I believe.

In addition to this, you can use programs written for the Symbian 60 OS.

For saving tracks you have a few options:
* Nokia Sports Tracker[2] - Saves to an internal format, but can export to
  GPX.
* WhereAmI+[1] - It's been a bit crash-happy for me, but has features such
  as POI marking and photos. Also saves more complete GPX files.

For viewing maps, I think you're limited to WhereAmI+, which however is
particularly crash-happy (for me) when downloading maps. Uses vector data.
