Hi!

I've been using Locus map for hiking and trekking for about a year now on a weekly basis and I really like it, but there's one thing that I can't figure out.

How is the "Estimated time of arrival" is calculated?

I've attached a screenshot and neither the current speed, nor the avg. speed gives a correct-ish estimate.
This ETA often gets me to worry and run for my finish point so that I won't miss the train/bus/whatever to get home in time, so I wouldn't have to wait 2 hours unnecessarily for the next one.

How is this calculated? What's the math behind it?

I would appreciate any guesses and formulas!
Thanks, Steve
