Are there any news regarding implementing a more accurate ETA (Travel time)on navigating new created routes?
Which take into consideration profile elevation at least
I suggested some time ago that at least fixed profiles which are already in locus(mountain hiker,Take a walk, MTBtrail ride etc) should be user configurable regarding speed on flat/ vertical speed, rest time
I had a problem this weekend when I was hiking to a mountain chalet and the navigation said there were only 5 kilometers till destination and I was at almost the same height as the chalet.The ETA was aprox 1 hour and I thought I will make it till night has began
I began hiking and it was raining but I arrived after aprox 3 hours...walking on the crest in the night and rain.
I forgot to look on the altitude chart and there were many peaks in between these 5 kilometers and so ascent was significant.
Because I had a good speed on the last 15 minutes before making the new route to the chalet I was given a shorter ETA to destination, not taking into account total ascent of the new route
Had a rough time :)
I like this idea 
Good day Marius,
I've changed your question to idea, so other may votes if interested in this modification of Locus.

It seems to me correct to calculate the arrival time based on the average speed. This method is used in the OrusMaps program and fully justifies itself. And it will not matter if you go on foot, ride a bicycle or a car. Also, all your stops along the route will be taken into account.

Is it still not possible to set a customize and personalize speed to calculate righter ETA. It seems the minimum walking speed is 4km/h and not possible to change it. Is it right? If you walk at 5000mt or on snow or carrying 25kg speed cannot be this, and ETA it will be hardly wrong.

I'd also like to adjust the speed for each routing profile, so routing gives a more accurate ETA for my personal walking/driving speeds.
A value "+/- x km/h" would do for me (as it is implemented in the PC software of a sometimes rather ignorant US navigation company ;-)

That would be very useful to me. In the wintertime my avarage speed is 1.5-2km/h. I wish there was a way to adjust that parameters.

The travel time is currently being adjusted based on the user's past speed. That is not always optimal. The user should be able to set the speed himself. Locus could suggest the speed. This is suggested based on the behavior since then. But then the user decides which time to enter.

Any news on this? Walked 2 days with heavy backpack and the average speed was waaay slower as calculated speed. Would be great to change avg speed to something lower (or higher in case of cyclo)
