Average Speed

The app calculates arrival time at WayPoints using , I assume an average speed.

Can this speed be altered? if so how do I do this. I am planning some routes for Vintage Motorcycles and wish to reduce the average speed used.

Hi John, no this is not possible

Hi Hans, thanks for the reply.
Can you advise how the app calculates the arrival time for each way point?
Thanks John

This link is for the Here Map API that may shed some light on the things it considers in its estimated time calculations.

In my experience the Here Map on my Garmin XT is usually pretty accurate.

@Steve-Lynch , thanks for that. It appears that it is a function of whatever map you choose to use ?

That makes sense. Average speed calculations can vary a lot depending on whether stops and delays are included, so it's good to understand how the app handles it. It helps make route timing estimates a lot more realistic.
