# GPX vs Navigation Marine PRO

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Navigation Marine PRO at 100% against GPX's 54%. GPX's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 2.0) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 13 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

GPX costs $0.99 and Navigation Marine PRO $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

GPX holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPX has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of GPX's written reviews are positive against 100% of Navigation Marine PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GPX ships an update every 5 weeks, Navigation Marine PRO every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
