Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: garner info at 5.0 against iMAPS Mobile's 4.5. garner info also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 10 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). iMAPS Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (28 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
garner info holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iMAPS Mobile has 28 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of garner info's written reviews are positive against 58% of iMAPS Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
garner info ships an update every 3 months, iMAPS Mobile every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
