A simple and easy to use odometer. GPS Odometer only does one thing, and does it well: measure distance traveled. Includes run in background capability. Ideal for almost anything that requires measuring outdoor distance traveled such as walking, running, driving, hiking, etc. Note that GPS does not work well under a roof. For best results, use outdoors. Benefits of the paid version: - Lock screen Widget and Notifications that can be customized to display the information that you want to see. - Landscape and splitscreen support. - Ability to have multiple trips. Each trip can be stopped and started independently. - Receive notifications while the application is closed at distance intervals of your choosing. - Custom distance unit for each trip. - Save trips to optionally restore later or for your own records. Displays: - Distance - Time elapsed - Speed (average or current) - Displacement (straight line distance from your starting point). This can be hidden. Distance units include: - Kilometers - Miles - Nautical miles - Meters - Feet Speed units include: - Kilometers per hour - Miles per hour - Nautical miles per hour - Meters per second - Feet per second Other features: - Large font adjustable display. - Home screen and lock screen widgets. - Accurate to within 1 percent when compared to most car odometers under normal driving conditions. - Approximates distance traveled in some GPS dead spots (such as driving through a tunnel) by adding the as-a-bird flies distance to your trip. Please also note: - GPS Odometer does run in the background if you leave it running. Be sure to pause the trip when you are finished or battery life will be negatively affected. The timer stops when the trip is paused. Please visit the web page for more details.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: WorldScope at Free against GPS Odometer Pro's $4.99. WorldScope also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). GPS Odometer Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#67 vs unranked). On in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
