I gave up on Citymapper a while ago. Now I remember why. Here's how I use Google Maps: As I am putting on my shoes to go out the door, I look at the event I'm going to in Google Calendar. I click through to the location in Maps, and click directions on the pop-up bubble. I walk out the door. Five seconds later I'm at the road, and need to know whether to turn left (to the station on the line to Victoria) or right (to the one on the line to London Bridge / Canada Water). I need to know my actual arrival time (barring unexpected problems) for each route, departing NOW. If I'm doing advance research (when do I need to leave?) I almost always do so using Google Maps on my laptop, not an app on my phone. If I don't use Google Maps, it's only because I'm using JourneyPlanner.org / PubTran, to deal with those annoying occasions that Google Maps doesn't know about engineering works (e.g., this week: no trains to London Bridge!)
