    Unfortunately MRA allow only to notify on vehicle in your account with data. May it is a plan for the future, but it is not yet possible

    @Peter-Schiefer well I see different setting options for an RV and a truck, even an electric car has different settings, so at my opinion it should be easy to allow having a car also settings, preferring also to setup a trailer attached to the car!

      May there is missunderstanding.
      To put your maximum speed im your data to calculate traveltime is an easy thing.
      But dimension and weight to avoid too small roads or low bridges ia another story. For this you need the data in the maps and for these extra data MRA must pay.

      This morning I saw on YT from a WoMo driver a report about Sygic.
      You can buy a special version for camper and must pay about 30 € in average per year above Lifetime use of the program for extras.
      Database for Sygic is the competitor from HERE for data and map supply TomTom.
      Sygic has no own route planer.
      I habe the standard Premium Sygic as Standby. You can Import MRA GPX files and get the route, but no info verbal or via text about POIs, coffee or lunch break stops.

      By the way with now more than 50 years of travelling by car, 12 years on business with car.
      I never worked with estimated time calculated from the Nav System „on the minute“ What ever you get is a possible time which can be wrong all the time on your way.
      An when you know your max speed in the Highway is max 90 and your distance on the highway is 450 km it is not 5 h it is about 6 h.
      On country roads your average is max 40 or sometimes less. because your accelaration is less, your max speed may only 75-80. Passing trucks impossible.
      The only way for you for time estimating is experience.

        Interesting idea! For me, a feature like this would be helpful for a different reason.

        When touring the French Alps last October, I learned the hard way that the estimated times calculated by MRA were off by about a third. If MRA predicted that a route would take 3 hours to ride, I found it actually took 4 hours. I found that I was averaging maybe 40 km/hour on those mountain roads, if that. But the legal speed was much higher, which I think contributed to the difference.

        I would find it very helpful to have an option to specify a maximum speed (or an average speed, either could work) in the route planner that reflects my own riding style.

          @Vincent-Curren
          On Garmin Basecamp you can set your own averages Speed per vehicle.
          But again, this is only for estimation at the green desk.
          The Nav Sat will use this info by settings too as far as I know at start, but it will adjust all estimated times by the real speed and average time per driven distance.
          Again, with years of experience you get a knowledge.
          Daytime drives, normal traffic condition. Car no trailer
          On Highway 100+/-5 per hour.
          Country roads interrupted with small villages at about each 10 Kilometers average 50+5 kilometers /hour.
          City traffic 20-25 km/h unbeleavable but true, with a car in the cities you are not so much faster than a bicycle.

            @Peter-Schiefer said in maximum speed for all vehicle types:

            with a car in the cities you are not so much faster than a bicycle

            That has been my experience too.

            The difference in arrival accuracy between MRA and Google maps is pretty dramatic, though. Google maps is usually pretty good. MRA tends to predict arrival much sooner in my experience.

              @Peter-Schiefer for a regular car you, unfortunately, can't set a max speed, unless I don't know how.

                @Vincent-Curren agree, I would love the max. speed for a car, as you may have an oldtimer and you can't go faster than x km/h, so it would be really helpful.

                Now while I am in Sweden, most roads are 80 km/h so MRA, when choosing car is pretty close in time calculations, however, when the route gors via a highway, MRA is off, and I agree, it's then about a third of the time.

                  do you need rearly such calculation „exact on the minute“
                  Why is it such a problem.
                  I know your caravan is a very compact and slim one.
                  May in Germanay you have a 100 km Ticket for German highways. in other countrys are different limits on highways and coutry roads.
                  Here is an overview
                  https://www.ace.de/reisen/reiseberichte/reiseberichte-artikel/artikel/tempolimits-fuer-caravans-in-europa/

                  In avarage you are at 80 km/h

                  You can add about 25% on estimated times for cars and you have a reference.

                  I drove a caravan in the 80 few times to the south of france (Ardeche)
                  When I need with the car only about 10-11 h netto for the about 930 Kilometer (google actuall 9:50) then i need with the caravan 14 h netto with an overnight.

                    @Peter-Schiefer yes, I like to have an estimate that suits and is realistic, rather than not knowing when I will be at my destination. Especially when driving - I don't want to calculate all time while driving, I want to concentrate on the road. 🙂
                    It's different when I make my planning, I often use the ADAC map and route planner, as they calculate pessimistic, means I usually beat their times. It's mostly about the routes when I have to be there on specific times, like a ferry or train etc. to catch.
                    Yes, I now hear your saying you can't count on time, traffic jams, detours etc. up to now I am doing fine, never missed a date. Because, I am adding additional time, but as said I like to see an option for all vehicles.
                    I know, I can calculate myself, but - we are talking about software, something that should ease our live. And as software can be changed and made convenient to use, my request is just a thing to make MRA even more userfriendly.

                        on your first thread you wrote:
                        When I choose RV to be able to give the length of my car+trailer and max. speed, within the route planning I get different times (because there is the max. speed not taken into account), but at the nav app it is taken into account, but I need the timings for better planning.

                        Now in the last comment you wrote:

                        Estimate travel time during planning and have here the opportunity to add average speed or a max speed on certain roads is a possibility at Garmin Basecamp. BC will use these values then for calculation of time.

                        But now with your second comment you makes a mental error.
                        At the Sat Nav on the road like a Garmin Camper you can only adress a max speed limit. There is no setting for road type average speed,

                        Sie können grundlegende Informationen des Fahrzeugprofils ändern oder einem Fahrzeugprofil detaillierte Informationen hinzufügen, beispielsweise die maximale Geschwindigkeit

                        Dadurch wird eine realistischere voraussichtliche Ankunftszeit erstellt. Die Einstellung der maximalen Geschwindigkeit kann auch den Routenverlauf anpassen und zusätzliche Routenvorschläge liefern.

                        So you will get a bit more accurate Calculation when you start but
                        when the camper looks in addition on traffic info too an so an expected total time and time to next Alarm point, which is quite different to the BC calculation. But now when you beginn driving the system calculate constantly your time used and distance driven and present you a always insitu new expected total time. This is a complete different story to the calculation on the green table with e. g. Basecamp

                          So you will get a bit more accurate Calculation when you start but
                          when the camper looks in addition on traffic info too an so an expected total time and time to next Alarm point, which is quite different to the BC calculation. But now when you beginn driving the system calculate constantly your time used and distance driven and present you a always insitu new expected total time. This is a complete different story to the calculation on the green table with e. g. Basecamp

                          @Peter-Schiefer choosing RV has other down sides. Having the car an option for a max. speed would solve these down sides. That simple.
