Except for the detectors how would they know you had a gps database,
they are not like radar detectors that can be detected by the cops.

They are allowed to search your car and check for the database on your
satnav, even if it's not turned on. The French police are in the habit
of doing random checks for papers, including your identity document
(Passport or national ID card), which you must have on your person at
all times.

While you're there, they might as well do a thorough job...

If they knew where to look,the one you are using may not be in the
satnav ,If I were in france I would not have the database in the obvious
place it can be in many devices maybe even some watches

If it's not on the satnav,it's not much use while you're driving, is it?

It can be satnav software in something not so obvious, it only has to
have an audible warning.
