Now your choice is whether you just want to display the map at your position, or if you need offline search or navigation, how much you’re willing to pay, and so on.
My suggestion (unless you're willing to pay for it) would be to use MapDroyd (it's available from the market). I have tested a few and most just cache bitmaps while MapDroyd downloads vector maps.
The default is online maps and online navigation, but you can also go in the settings and download map data. Afterwards, you will be able to see the map without data connection (just like you can with mapdroyd), but if you bought the donation version, or downloaded the free nightly version from their site, you can also navigate offline.
The offline navigation is still beta (long routes - say 200km or more - can cause crashes).
Another offline navigation app is Zanavi, a fork of Navit. But OsmAnd is a bit more extended and android-y-fied.
OsmAnd has the most features. And the maps have the most detail.
Navit / Zanavi still has the best navigation/routing last time I tested, but the map display is for navigation, not for "human use".
Navdroyd was the first (paid) app to do navigation. Not worth it: maps display is the same as the free Mapdroyd, and navigation routes long distance over secondary roads.

Yes, there is quite a selection for Android based phones:

OSMAnd can download the vector data and draw them on demand for offline use. It also includes navigation.

+1 for OsmAnd.
