I've been using my TT One XL-S for about five months now. I am continually frustrated by the time calculations (call it whatever it is - ETA estimate, speed-to-time, arrival time, whatever.)
Here's my problem - the arrival time estimates are always off, sometimes as much as 1 hour. As an example, (warning - Canadian/metric units) I travel across the prairies fairly regularly. One trip I take is 95 km one way (let's round that up to 100 km). I travel at 120 km/h, so let's round that down to an average of 100 km/h to include the edge of town speed-up/slow-down, traffic, etc.
I leave at 9 am. You'd think the TT would tell me that I would be arriving in the neighbourhood of 10 am give or take. No... it tells me 11 am, or 10:35 am, or some time (always longer/slower) - enough that it makes me wonder if the thing is programmed to ... I don't know... add in a few rest stops? Calculate arrival time based on current speed minus 20 km/h?
I just don't get it. Any help or insight or even hacks would be appreciated. (Yes, I did search the forums using a few key words and only found discussions of route choice, not arrival time calculation.) Just so I'm clear here, there isn't an issue of multiple routes here. It's a straight shot along a single possible route (think prairie, road like an arrow as far as the eye can see.)
Thanks in advance,
Paul
