@dgearhart I decided to leave the time out (both time remaining and ETA) because it's currently not accurate because traffic and other factors are not included. I take Google's ETA seriously and make mode decisions based on that. Do you think it will be misleading for the user.
We also might end up in a situation where the time might countdown much faster than the distance or time won't change for a while if the user is stuck in traffic.

Even with traffic information this is just an estimated time...I think some estimate being shown is better than none.

I think time remaining will update along with distance remaining
I see ETA update on all nav apps depending on how well I am traversing the path.
It would be nice to see how well the base OSM data time estimates are without traffic

I agree, we need an ETA. While testing in VA this weekend, the family kept asking when will we get there and I had no idea. Kids even said look at the phone.

Ok I'm sold! I recommend we start with time remaining which will be an extension of the choose mode screen where we show distance and time for each mode.
@dgearhart I'm not sure we are tracking journey time in the app to see how OSM time estimates are. @mjcunningham is that something we can do?

@souperneon yes we anonymously track trip time and length
