⚠ Have you searched for similar, already existing issues?

Describe the issue
Currently, if you create a route, OrganicMaps is really optimistic with the estimated time of arrival (ETA). While I like the routes built, the needed time is basically always false, which is bad.
I don't mean that traffic isnt calculated, because even without traffic (just traffic lights and stuff), it's not really realistic.

Steps to reproduce
Create a route, drive it, see the difference.

Expected behaviour
A somewhat correct time, well, obviously when there is low traffic.

System information:

  • Operating system and its version: CalyxOS with Android 15
  • Organic Maps version: 2024.11.27-12-Web
  • Device Model: Pixel 6a

Additional context
I suspect that:

  1. The speed is thought of being always the maximum (which isnt the case)
  2. Traffic lights (or zebra crosswalks) aren't really used

It'd be helpful to post here some real examples like:
start coords -> finish coords, displayed ETA, actual ETA

I will tell my dad to get some ETAs tomorrow/after that day (I myself aren't even allowed to drive with a car).

I don't think the ETA factors in your speed. Eg, in Illinois, the speed limit is 55, but every one drives 75+
