Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Tremap at Free against Navigation Rules Pro's $4.99. Tremap also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Navigation Rules Pro's advantage is ratings volume (442 vs 2) and chart position (#29 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
