Arrival time calculations: Anyone know how TTOne 3Ed determines how long you have to go to reach your destination?

i have a guess, and i want to stress that this is *only* a guess, that tomtom averages the amount of time that people take to drive any given route. if the road is wide open -especially for longer drives- i always beat the original estimates; if the traffic is bad, i'm always later. i know for a fact that tomtom is taking information from your device, and vice versa, when you connect to tomtom.com. the tomtom is definitely learning new routes (from roads that people drive on that the device doesn't know about -- i've seen roads show up on my device after friends have logged them with their tomtoms on) and new shorter paths (my device doesn't direct me "wrong" again after i've gone a shorter way than it originally knew about. so i think they're conglomerating data and giving you a point-to-point guess based on what their users have actually done. it wouldn't surprise me that if you used the external traffic sensor that this would be even more accurate based not only on the traffic of the moment, but their data base on the history of your route at that particular time. for what it's worth, m.

I'm not sure. I cancelled this order because it didn't get to the destination on time. It was a gift for a friend.

When the tracking feature is enabled (the button is pushed) it will automatically send out a signal every 10 minutes for 24 hours. Then it will stop. You will need to reactivate the track button every 24 hours. Apparently, the batteries will allow you to send out position location for at least four, or more days, depending on temperature.

I can select which kind of route. I will try and describe how based on memory as the unit is not in front of me. After putting in the destination, the screen with the big "GO" appears. If one waits a couple of extra seconds, an icon appears in the very lowest, right- hand corner. Select that icon. The screen comes up with the list of options by words, fastest, most freeways, fewest freeways, etc. it takes the unit a few more seconds to populate each route with the time required. Then, again, select the icon on the bottom, can not recall ig right hand, or center, but it looks like a map. That takes you to a map with the three options displayed. Hard to tell, sometimes which route each takes. Good luck. I can select which kind of route. I will try and describe how based on memory as the unit is not in front of me.

Hanna, yes to both of your questions. Once a destination is selected, on the upper right hand corner of the map page is your arrival time and miles to that destination. On another page you have an odometer that can be reset, total hours, hours moving, hours stopped, average speed, max speed, elevation, percentage of trip to destination and hours left to reach destination. I really like all the features on this GPS. Good luck.

I just bought this and LOVE it. It tells you the time you should arrive at your destination. So as long as you know the current time (from your watch, a car radio, etc.) you will know how many more minutes "until we get there".

No, does not give you distance travelled. That's your odometer that does that. It does let you know ETA and miles to next turn. It quietly recalculates when you don't go the way it first chooses. Have traveled N 2 S Canada to Florida using and its been so much more helpful then our Garmin. Very happy with it.

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

Yes, when you enter your destination there will be 2 options on the top right of the screen. If you choose the most right of these 2 options "Multiple routes" what ever routes available will appear on the top of the screen. Tap on each of those options to see the route available. Joe

Patricia this is designed to get you places not keep track of miles so I don't think it does what you need. You Mark a starting point and when you want to get back it points you in the right direction. It can also get you back to a point by marking the point when you arrive, saving it and when you want to go back to that point you dial it up and it points you to it.

Longer flight times. V1 was about 5-8 minutes, V2 was 15-24 minutes, V3 is approaching or at 30 minutes.

I have not used that feature. I would wait to see if it does it fourteen or thriteen days the next time....but that doesnt explain why the first period was only thirteen...if you are using the 'interval' function to enter 14, perhaps use 15 for once, to determine the behaviour. As for explanation of why, that would require a long flight over the ocean and a translator.

Thank you for your response. I believe you are planning destinations into a folder, I know how to do that, but it dosent let you actually simulate the trip from the airport to hotel or tell you how many miles it is till you get to the airport. If it does I cant find it.

Shows remaining distance or remaining time, & switches automatically between them, also shows arrival information & next stop information.

It depends. The system is not as responsive as I expected. It usually takes 8-12 minutes until a notification arrives - and that location is already some minutes old. So if you have a fast traveling pet, good luck. You are dealing with outdated info.The map on the android is not accurate either. Plus, even if you try to locate your pet within the home zone, the map on the mobile device is useless, because it shows the tagg being at the center of the home zone.

Yes.1. Select an address first, the select Go2. Select another address and select Go3. It will ask for whether you want to add to the trip or not.

yes. it has a page called "trip computer" wehich can track total distance, total time, stopped time, moving average, stopped time and several other items.
