On a last moment (3 weeks ago) I decided to load PocketStreets 2003 and the Paris Map on my Ipaq PocketPC; Glad I did it, it helped me to survive the city (where you easily get lost).
However, I hate they way streets are showed as simple lines and that you cannot turn on to show all streetnames (it show only a few streetnames, even when you zoom in to the lowest possible). When you are walking on a longer street, you sometimes have to search for the side streets to be sure you are on the right track (even are you walking upnorth or south); it would be handier if the streetnames where shown at all times.
Also some Points Of Interests are hard to find, something as easy as the eifeltower could not be found since you need to search for tour eifel (how to guess). Many POI in the form of metrostations have in reality different names.
Wel, it give a 7 out of 10.
