ETA is not correct

Bug Reports

I am testing abrp for some weeks next to waze, eta of abrp is always too optimistic. Waze gave a more accurate eta every time

Where does this happen?
ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

    Hi @BMWix3,

    Please provide a link to the plan where this occurs. To do this;

    1. Plan the trip in ABRP

    2. Click/tap: ‘Share plan’

    3. Click/tap: ‘Share ABRP link’

    4. Paste the URL here

      ABRP shows incredibly optimistic ETAs on absolutely all plans.

      My guess is ABRP either doesn’t consider traffic at all or it considers that a traffic light lasts just 1 second.

      I don’t trust ABRP’s ETA at all. I always use Waze in parallel to have a realistic ETA. If I’m communicating ABRP’s ETA, people will be very disappointed because they would think I’m very late or that I had an accident.

    Hi Helder,

    We can recommend checking your settings for 'speed' as Google might be using a different max speed than what's set in your settings.

      I did that, it is synchronising with car data, so it should be even more accurate, right?

        For consumption and current speed etc. yes, but you’d still need to tell ABRP the max speed you’d drive at and possible adjust the ref speed if you tend to drive slower or faster than the speed limit.
