I live in France and I haven't heard of anyone getting checked. As far as I know, the gendarmerie or police is not allowed to look in your satnav anyway but customs (douane) is.

Well, I have used both my ageing TomTom 730 and a new Garmin 2595LMT side by side for a few months and around 20K miles.
