Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: mika at none against GPX Viewer's 1. mika also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). GPX Viewer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
