Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Handy Compass at 5.0 against Where2Go's 4.0. Handy Compass also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Where2Go's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
