You can also verify these guesstimates on the map — never be misplaced again! • Point your destination visually with blazing speed. Or use a traditional search, if you aren't quite so sure where to tap. • View your route alternatives either on a clever clock-face diagram of surprising clarity, or on a classic timeline. • Follow your route of choice on the map, and see how the walks and the vehicles meander through the urban wilderness.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Linjalla at fortnightly against Reittikello's every 14 months. Reittikello's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
