Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Elder Scrolls Map at 68% against Runes's 15%. The Elder Scrolls Map also leads on rating (4.7 vs 1.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). Runes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
