You could try gosmore. I used it on my 4.2 device for over a year and
then used it on my Mio for another year. The easiest is to get a
osm.bz2 file of no more than 50 MB, drag and drop it onto the Windows
binary (or follow the rebuild instructions under Linux). Then unzip
the WinCE package to an SD card and add the compiled map (gosmore.pak)
to the same directory.

Having said that, Android devices cost the same, is much more capable
(compass, accelerometers,   onscreen keyboard, multitasking) and is
easier to program and debug. So the WinCE port is deprecated.
