Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GPS Tracks at Free against MapGuru's $5.99. GPS Tracks also leads on chart position (#89 vs unranked) and device support (5 vs 2). MapGuru's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On ads there is nothing between them.
