Estimated Time of Arrival?

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the Nav system to display ETA instead of "To go"? There's nothing like having to do mental math while you're driving when you call a friend to say, "I'll be there at... (hm... clock says 6:16, I have 1:38 to go...) um... hold on... carry the 1... I'll be there at 7:54. See you then." Or worse yet, have your buddy do the math for you. The Garmin Nuvi's are quite good at calculating an ETA... it's simple math for the GPS to display this for you. Anyone have a solution? Thanks!

bumping this old thread...how can get the estimated arrival time on the Navi? I don't want 'time to destination'. WTH was Acura thinking by omitting this feature...every other car I have had with navi and every damn $100 Garmin has this feature!!!

I really am trying to like my new '12 TL..but these missing features is really making me feel that I made a bad choice

Please tell me there is a way to change this

Nope! you are wrong. It is not a simple math when it is 20+50. It is not 70 but 1:10.

I knew you are going to say this and you are wrong again.

Simple math could be calculated by any basic calculator. go google search simple math and you won't find any time calculation.

You can't calculate time with basic calculator. You don't learn time calculation first because it is not the simple math.

First math you learn is not time calculation. It is "simple math" which is basic + and -.

yes, it is simple math to us but to according to the text book or based on our education, time calculation is little advanced simple math.
Since we are grown men, let's end here. I dont want to argue here over this stupid topic.

really.. your going to refer to a calculator for this?

you just cant seem to get it in your head that every 1:00 is an hour and any mins after that is added to the total

so if its 2:57, your driving 2 hours and 57 mins.. simple enough for you? then you add that to your current time which is 6pm.. then you get 8:57pm..

you see what i just did there?

how is this even relevant to someone that has a license.. sorry if you cant count, you shouldnt be driving.. simple fact.

and the fact that you even think you need a calculator for this surprises me..

yes, it is simple math to us but to according to the text book or based on our education, time calculation is little advanced simple math.

who brought the math teacher in here??? lol text book or not.. if you can add and subtract, this shouldnt be even an issue.

Since we are grown men, let's end here. I dont want to argue here over this stupid topic.
you are correct.. why are we arguing about this.. "grown" men should know how to add and subtract..
