# GPS Tracks vs eLiteMap

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: eLiteMap at none against GPS Tracks's 3. eLiteMap also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). GPS Tracks's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and chart position (#91 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Tracks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. eLiteMap asks for nothing beyond the download.

GPS Tracks ships an update fortnightly, eLiteMap every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
