Importing data is easy with our unique data import facility using the USB cable or wirelessly on your Mac, PC and Linux. Raster data in many formats (pre-processing required) and ESRI Shapefiles (.shp) are supported at the moment. Your spatial data is stored on the iPhone, so there’s no need for an Internet connection to see your data – great for field work. We also support over 3000 projections, so no need for re-projection.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Yield Pro Scout at 5.0 against iGIS's 3.9.

On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
