Indicated route duration

[Stephan 21]

Hi all, I just wanted to try the curvy route suggestions of MRA. I noticed that for one of the suggestions the duration changed after I pressed the yellow arrow button.
This seems incorrect behavior.
(Will try to add pictures later on)

@Stephan-21 why should this be incorrect? If you change route type to "curvy", logically the length of the route changes - as well as the calculated duration...

[Corjan Meijerink]

Yeah, the problem is that the first duration is an estimation.
Once actually loaded in navigation, HERE estimates a slightly slower travel speed resulting in a longer duration (but same length).

@Corjan-Meijerink thanks for the response. Do you know why there is a difference in speed? Does one take into account current traffic and the other does not?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Stephan-21 yes, however on those roads traffic is mostly insignificant. It’s mainly just that HERE assumes lower realistic travel speeds for those roads.

@Corjan-Meijerink it had been a while, but is this something that is on the roadmap of improvement for MRA? Not sure about other users, but for me this really prphibits the use of the trip generator, becausr it is not a 5 minute difference, but 30 minutes to 45 for Some cases (the longen the route, the greater the difference)

Hi Stephan,

I usually don’t see such large differences, except in cases where the app starts the route with traffic checks enabled or detects a road closure on my originally planned route. Under normal conditions, the differences are about 15 minutes max.
