Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TrekkingPoint Lite at none against iNavX's 11. TrekkingPoint Lite also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). iNavX's advantage is chart position (#143 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
