Read full descriptionHide full description
Spot Compass is a navigation app designed to work on Apple Watch without iPhone connectivity. Save a destination in advance and the app shows the direction and distance to that spot on the watch. Navigation to saved spots works offline, so it is useful while running, walking, or traveling light. You can also add the Spot Compass widget to your watch face to see the selected spot name and quickly launch the app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Spot Compass at none against DashMate's shown. Spot Compass also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). DashMate's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 25 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
