Google Maps are good for walking around but are seriously lacking for information about public transportation. Citymapper is the absolute best for those wanting accurate and detailed information about public transportation in Paris. Another voice in favor of Citymapper!

If you're using the vending machine, pay with euro coins, or a European debit or credit card that has a smart chip.

Google maps works pretty well in France, I'd say as well as it does in the US. You either need a data plan or to download offline maps (or both). Offline maps will only give driving directions I think, not walking or public transport. I've also used my Garmin Nuvi GPS with European maps, and that works well too.
