Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PIP Compass LT at none against The Elder Scrolls Map's 5. PIP Compass LT also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). The Elder Scrolls Map's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
