Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: MapPath at none against WayLog's shown. MapPath also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (71% vs 62%). WayLog's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
