Others have responded that you should basically just relax and enjoy
yourself - and that is certainly a wonderful way to experience a
city -however - being married to a civil engineer/surveyor type who loves
his GPS (and all such gadgets) and has a love of maps gives me an additional
perspective - so...I say - if you've used it in the US and you have fun with
it here, bring it and have fun with it in Paris! We've brought ours on a
driving trip through Germany and Austria and used it more for fun than in
lieu of maps - we did use it like bread crumbs in Amsterdam, and to
monument some of our favorite spots. I got him the software at the time of
the purchase (over 2 yrs now) that had US coordinates that we use on our US
driving trips- there may be software for Paris or Europe generally - I know
I've been to lots of Web sites that include coordinates now, such as
MapBlast. BTW - there are some technical issues (at least with his
particular unit), such as having to readjust some setting when you go more
than a certain number of miles - Texas to Europe qualifying!
