GPS to Irish Maps

    I have an app on my phone (Nokia 6700c, Symbian 40) which gives me my GPS location (degrees, minutes, seconds) and nothing else.

    Does anyone know how I go about transferring that onto an Irish map (say an OSI Discovery series map) which uses eastings and northings?

    Say I am out on a mountain and I get my location using the GPS on the phone. Can I use that basic GPS location information to work out where I am on an Irish map?

    My phone also uses Nokia Maps which is grand for cities, but rubbish for the outdoors.
