Display estimated time when creating route
Completed
The fabulous "Add new route & measure" feature of Locus shows a total distance counter in the top-left of the screen. If I plan a route with Google Maps, it also gives a (not especially accurate, but still indicative) idea of the time to do the journey in a car. I realise this is a bit messy with the ability to do mixed "routed" and "non-routed" routes (i.e. with and without the direction button highlighted), but it would be really useful to have this information when planning a car or motorcycle journey.
I like this idea 
If you "navigate" the track you have just created you can set a field with remaining time to destination. Maybe that will help?

What Alan wants is something, I miss a lot and I'm glad someone bring it here. When you use "add new route" feature, you firstly needs to save it and then start navigation, to get time estimate, how long the route will take. So to know this value also during a creating, should be more then welcome I believe.
Happy voting :)

I do a lot of hill walking and it would be really useful when plotting a route to get an estimate of the likely time that the walk will take. I tend to use Naismith's rule which is an hour for every 5km and an hour for every 600m of ascent although many people including myself use an hour for every 4km and an hour for every 600m of ascent which allows for rests! There are modifications to the rules such as increasing the time based on the gradient of the descent but it would be really useful to get the basic settings of walking rate and ascent rate available with a estimated time based on the route and those parameters.

As far as I see, the required feature is already existing ("Estimated travel time", see http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:tracks:planning&s[]=route#estimated_travel_time) but is "just" not available during route planning, but only after route planning has been finished. I'd love to have the feature avaible also during planning.

Hi Alan, Georg, others. ..
as Georg wrote, this feature is already available in track screen for single track, but not during planning. Georg has a good idea, so direct display of track time estimates was now added into bottom tools menu when you plan a route.
