Sadly, I don't think that gyro control is part of the Vektor Wars control scheme. This game is a dual-stick shooter with a FPS perspective. You're right--having the map on the HUD when you have it on your GamePad is pointless, but I guess the original programmers didn't bother to do the programming to remove the HUD map display when converting this title over for the Wii U. I also tried to play this game with a Wiimote and nunchuk combo, but that didn't work. This leaves players with either the GamePad or the Wii U Pro Controller.
That said, I still think that this is a fun retro FPS that's worth its low price tag.
You can either play this game entirely on your GamePad, or you can play the game on your TV and use the GamePad to show the entire map. This may not sound like much, but being able to see the entire map REALLY comes in handy. Here's my review, which has some additional tips: http://titansterrorstoys.blogspot.com/2016/08/blast-away-hordes-of-neon-lit-robot.html
