Did you ever get lost on a trail and then reached your GPS app to realize that you don't have an internet connection? YIKES! Then you need to download the original "Outdoorsman GPS App". Waypoint is a fun Navigation App that shows you the STRAIGHT LINE DIRECTION and distance to a destination set by you before without needing an internet connection. Since 2011, outdoors enthusiasts like you can save key locations like watering holes, tree stands, your car's location, hidden stashes, etc. As long as you have a good, clear sky, you can go back to your saved location, NO INTERNET REQUIRED. NOTE: Waypoint is designed to be used in the remote, outdoor areas, where phone or internet signal does not reach. NOTE: For best accuracy, use Waypoint only outside, where you have a clear path to the sky. Walls lower GPS accuracy and big metal objects near the device impact the Compass. NOTE: If issues appear, please use the support site so we can target and fix them, thank you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: MapItFast at every 5 weeks against Waypoint's every 3 months. Waypoint's advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
