GPS Data delivers all of the current location information available from your device, including GPS, compass, and barometer data. GPS Data displays the following information, in an easy-to-use list format: • Current time • Time since last update • Accuracy of readings • Latitude & Longitude coordinates (decimal degrees and degrees/minutes/seconds) • Elevation (meters and feet above sea level) • Speed (meters and feet per second, kilometers and miles per hour, and knots) • Device direction (degrees true and degrees magnetic) • Direction of device movement (degrees true) • Local air pressure (hectopascals and inches of mercury) • Vertical speed (meters per second and feet per minute) Additionally, on iOS, any altitude, speed, or direction value can be expanded into a larger, full screen display, useful for monitoring different values when you're on the move.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPS Data at 76% against SpeedoMeter + Free's 29%. GPS Data also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (458 vs 3). SpeedoMeter + Free's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
