Useful Map helps you decide how to get there right now. Search for a destination and see travel times for transit, walking, and driving side by side. No more switching modes and checking one at a time. ■ Only what you need to decide The focus is travel time. For public transit, departure and arrival times are shown as well. Less clutter means you know "how much longer" and "what time I arrive" at a glance. ■ Details in Google Maps Fares, transfer stations, lines, and platforms are not reproduced here. Tap "Details" on a transit option and Google Maps opens with the same places and time conditions carried over. Compare in Useful Map, dig into details in Google Maps. ■ Change conditions, compare again Set the origin to your current location or any searched place, add stops along the way, and specify a departure or arrival time. ■ Everything stays on your device Saved places and recent searches are stored only on your device. No account is required. Your location is never sent to our servers. ■ Languages Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Thai Maps, search, and routing use Apple MapKit. Public transit coverage depends on what Apple provides in your area.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Useful Map at none against 電車時刻表's 1. Useful Map also leads on ads (none vs shown). 電車時刻表's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
