This app helps you create a custom map of your neighborhood and navigate without the need for internet connection or any pre-downloaded map. This app is particularly useful for anybody who has a poor sense of direction, or who can not read maps with so many uninteresting street names and directions. Let's assume you have just moved into a new home and you don't want to get lost when traveling around. This app helps you find your way back home easily. Another practical use of this app is to find where you have parked your car, find your favorite restaurant, store, hotel, or a particular building in a neighborhood. What the app does is that it tracks you and draws your route constantly. You can drop a pin on any location that you are interested in. You can give the pin a name and assign it an icon using a variety of image options. In this way, you will have a clear view of the region you are interested in. You can follow the route to take you back to the departing point. You can save the created map. The next time you can open it and follow the route to take you to the location pins. If the internet connection is available too, then tapping the current location will show you the street address and the address is also saved with the location pins. In order to delete or rename a saved map, swipe the desired row in your map book and select the appropriate action. The premium version enables the save and open features.

Falconers want the confidence that comes with a superior falcon tracking product. Hallux GPS will give you this confidence. And if you lose your bird, the SOS feature allows you to get tracking assistance from hundreds of other falconers. Hallux GPS evolved from our collaboration with The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and their work tracking bats that carry the Ebola virus. Hallux GPS was originally introduced as a GPS tracker for bats. With this app, falconers can not only track a lost falcon but also have the following features at their disposal. • S.O.S. feature throws an electronic net over your bird, with other users’ cooperation. • Encrypted GPS location data to keep your bird’s position secret from others • PINs prevent others from manipulating your birds’ GPS devices • Choice of tracking modes for longer and longer battery life • Post-flight statistics such as maximum speed, maximum altitude, and temperature • Logging of the hunting flight that you can view and share with others

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hallux at none against Create Own Map's 1. Hallux also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 17 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
