Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fylde Maps Offline at none against GPS Tracks's 3. Fylde Maps Offline also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 85%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). GPS Tracks's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 10 months) and chart position (#84 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
