GPS Location shows your current location, date & time to the second along with a scrollable map. Share your coordinates over SMS (text message), email, Twitter, Facebook or Weibo! If you share over email, Twitter or Facebook, GPS Location also attaches a screenshot so you can easily remember what the surrounding area looked like. You can copy your coordinates & locate anything you can find on the map with accurate crosshairs. Have a telescope that needs your coordinates & the current time? Need to know the coordinates for your hunting stand? Going on a trek and need to find your lat/long? Want to scroll around the world and see where your favorite landmarks are? GPS Location is what you need. After launch, the map automatically centers on your location. Coordinates of the map's center are shown in three formats (DD-MM-SS.S, DD-MM.MMM and DD.DDDDD). Elevation is shown feet & meters. Your phone's time is shown in Greenwich Mean Time (aka Zulu time). To recenter the map on your location, just hit the crosshairs button. iPod touches and wifi-only iPads do not have GPSs. These devices will not be as accurate. The iOS GPSs output in the WGS84 datum.

AP Installer
Read full descriptionHide full description
The AP Installer app provides a record of Wi-Fi access point installations, using data captured on-site by the installer. It is not specific to HPE Aruba Networking equipment but offers additional features when used with AirWave network management. This app will look best on an iPad, but works on smaller screens. The app provides a structure for the installer to record data about the installation: - Serial number or MAC of the AP can be scanned using a bar-code reading function or entered by keypad. - Text entry fields allow keypad entry of AP name, serial number, MAC, location and notes about the installation. - Up to 5 photographs can be attached to the record. These can show details of the installation, location or surroundings. - When used with an AirWave network management server, the app will download floorplans and the installer can indicate the position of the installed AP on the floorplan. Once the AP is placed on the floorplan, its location can be automatically updated to AirWave. - If AirWave is not present, the app can import a floorplan image from the photo album or an email attachment and APs can be placed on this image and their location recorded in relative dimensions. - If the device has GPS enabled, the latitude & longitude of the installation is recorded. If a simple street address lookup (from GPS) succeeds, the (approximate) street address is added. At the end of an installation run, the list of AP information may be emailed as a spreadsheet and a set of images: this can be archived as a permanent record and proof of each AP installed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: AP Installer at Free against GPS Location's $0.99. GPS Location's advantage is update cadence (every 4 months vs every 16 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
