And to have an ETA.

I used to be able to do that in my head. Like look at a map, eyeball the median speed we'll be able to drive, the distance and I was usually within a 10-15min accuracy.

The point is that GPS map services factor in traffic data...

I know roughly how long it will take for me to drive the several hour trip to my mom's house when there aren't any accidents or construction work. It's those factors that affect my ETA.

If it’s a local destination that I know well I have a pretty good estimation in my head, but again those unexpected factors can throw a wrench in my plans.
