Verdict
GPS Data and GPS Speedometer both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of GPS Data's written reviews are positive against 24% of GPS Speedometer's. GPS Data also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). GPS Speedometer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 458). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
