Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Photo Map at none against TravelMemoryMap's shown. Photo Map also leads on ratings volume (1.9K vs 1). TravelMemoryMap's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
