HD satellite maps provide the latest and most complete satellite maps, which is your best companion to explore the unknown world, and enjoy the global scenery without leaving home. In addition to satellite maps, there are 3D maps (showing 3D models of buildings), contour maps (showing coordinates in real time, longitude and latitude), and flat maps (showing global street information).

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Satellite Map at 27% against Simple Compass's 0%. Satellite Map also leads on ratings volume (326 vs 7) and device support. Simple Compass's advantage is rating (3.1 vs 2.8) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Simple Compass holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Satellite Map has 326 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Simple Compass's written reviews are positive against 27% of Satellite Map's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
