I'm using CoPilot as the SatNav app on my phone and I find it's calculations out by a long way.

For instance today:


  • 51 miles, small roads. CoPilot calculated about 2h 5m I think so I decided not to take that route. Checked Google Maps when I got home and that said 1h 24m.
  • 100 miles, around 85 miles motorway. CoPilot calculated it at 2h 30m. It took me about 1h 40m. Google Maps calculates it at 1h 38m.


Anyone else find that or do I have it on "Driving Miss Daisy" mode (I think it's set to bike)?
 
Suggest checking speeds at road preferences

Interesting thanks. So CoPilot doesn't use the roads speed limits to calculate but rather what you think is your average on such roads?
 
I don't know but it looks like. Play with these settings and see how it goes as I haven't recently used Copilot.
I reckon Google Maps uses their traffic info to calculate/update your ETA as well that's why it would be more accurate.
