*** REQUIRES *** iCloud See your GPS coordinates anywhere in the world. Simple, clean interface that has received a lot of excellent customer feedback. Allows you to record and name waypoints as you go, wherever you are. Multiple waypoint lists, import/export to other apps as csv/kml and automatic iCloud sync. I wrote this app to be simple and effective. If you have an iPad or iPhone and want to know your latitude/longitude, please do give it a try and I hope you like it! (On wifi only iPad models location is not very accurate and requires wifi access point connection to work, please bear that in mind.)

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Vector at every 6 weeks against GPS Receiver HD's every 3 months. GPS Receiver HD's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
