Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My GPS Coordinates ° at 4.6 against Back's 3.6. My GPS Coordinates ° also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 17). Back's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
