Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CS Mapping at 100% against Globe 3D's 12%. CS Mapping also leads on ads (none vs shown). Globe 3D's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and chart position (#164 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
