Can Anybody Recommend A Map Comparison Tool?

I know that there are online map comparison tools. I am looking for one that allows me to use the following:
Garmin Explore
Garmin Base BaseCamp
OnX Offroad
Polaris Ride Command
Right now I am simply using two computer monitors to compare maps at the same location. Sometimes I will do a cut and paste of the GPS coordinates from one and enter it into the other one. It works, but it is cumbersome.
I assume that there is a more efficient way to do this. I would like to be able to have both maps track together. So, if I change the location on one map, the other map will follow.
What programs are available that will allow me to do this?

How would that work?
The site you linked to is comparing openStreetmap and other free resources that have public map servers. I have something similar, but it only allows comparisons of maps on my site.

What you're asking for is something completely different and I don't see how it would be possible (but am always happy to learn new things!). Basecamp is a program on your own computer, a website on the internet (hopefully) cannot access that.
The other apps you mention are proprietary, paid apps. Nobody can use content from OnX, Polaris or Explore without permission from the owners of those sites. And why would they allow that? It would be a way for people to access their paid content for free.
It sounds like what you're already doing might be the only way. I suppose you could use an AI agent to do the same thing and simultaneously browse multiple sites while keeping them in sync for you. Then again, that surely would violate the terms of service of those commercial products.
