Map Switcher App in form of a streamlined iOS-share-extension. There are many good apps for navigation and map display. Unfortunately, it's currently not possible to exchange locations between different map apps. However, most apps offer the option to share a location. And that's precisely where this app comes in. You share a location and then select the "OPEN LOCATION" action provided by this app. EXAMPLE USAGE: I found a point of interest on Google Maps or Yelp. I share it via the "OPEN LOCATION..." action. Then I choose e.g. 'TomTom', because this might be my favorite app for car navigation. Or I could choose 'UBER' to order a ride. Or maybe 'Outdooractive' to hike to this location. Et cetera, etc... Everyone should be able to find good use of combining his/her existing apps with each other in new ways.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Open Location at 94% against Geo converter's 18%. Open Location also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 38 months). Geo converter's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
