Read full descriptionHide full description
GiPStech has developed a proprietary technological solution consisting of a smart integration of geomagnetic and inertial algorithms that is able to reach extraordinary precision employing as guiding signal the anomalies to the geomagnetic field “naturally” present in any indoor setting: a signal that is free, stable and reliable. To use this app you need to be inside a building present in the GiPStech database.
Azimut

This app is a sort of a personal compass, that--instead of pointing to the north--points to locations that you can create and choose for yourself. It shows the direction to the selected target location as well as the distance. It can be useful when hiking, biking or travelling (even without an internet connection), but it can also be a fun way to test your sense of direction :-)

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Azimut at fortnightly against GiPStech Navigator's every 3 months. GiPStech Navigator's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.3 vs 17.2). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
