    I have a question regarding route planning and travel times.
    Recently, I planned a motorcycle day trip using the MRA Web Planner (with the HERE map archetype). The planner estimated a total travel time of 7 hours. However, when I started my trip in the morning and loaded the route into the MRA Navigation Next app, the display showed a travel time of 8 hours right from the start.
    I am trying to understand where this 1-hour difference comes from.

    • Is this discrepancy purely due to live traffic conditions being factored into the navigation app but not the planner?

    • Does the navigation app calculate different average speeds for motorcycles compared to the web planner?
      What settings or steps do I need to adjust in the MRA Web Planner to ensure that the estimated travel time matches the navigation app as closely as possible before I head out?

      @Christian-Feurstein in the web planner stops etc are included in the total time. In the app nog

        @Marinus-van-Deudekom. The app calculated time is longer than the planner so I don't think stop times apply in this case.

          @Christian-Feurstein if you are using the app to navigate by Route rather than Track & you have the Traffic setting > Traffic Aware Calculation enabled it is quite possible that the extra hour is due to this
          Did you notice any change in the total mileage for the route?
          It is quite possible your Route was changed to avoid a road closure & the detour may have added a large loop that added the extra time

            I am able to reproduce this issue with my planned route. So I have checked your question regarding the distance and it is keeping exact the same amount of km when starting the navigation. Today the navigation of the 7h route tells me 7h46min duration. The difference seems to occur probably due to traffic ...

              How were you able to deduce the issue was due to traffic?
              If you turn off the "Traffic Aware Calculation" does the estimated time stay the same as the planner?
