display eta and distance even if no fix is available

[ah be]

it would be nice if one would also have the eta/distance/... displayed even if one does not currently have a gps fix. this would be a nice feature so one can just test how long different routes would take working gps-offline.

well it is somewhat there, but I do not know how to access it in a better way:

in Menu-> Description (2 clicks) one has the distance and the time left to get there, so arrival time could be calculated.

maybe someone has an idea on how to pass these to the standard eta and tl and distance tags of navit.

Can you please give us some more details on your setup and the problems?

As I understand, you have no GPS fix and start routing and in the very first updates (still without GPS), the OSD doesn't display ETA from the start position to the destination (so the full route)?

[ah be]

what I would like to use navit also for is to give me estimated times + distances for arbitrary routes I choose: just set the destination and add the position manually. navit does this already perfectly (apart form #1101 problem with changing vehicles). but now as I can see the route navit proposes I would also like to know how long it is and what distance I will have to travel. so my guess was that in this case the route parameters would be passed to the variables

${navigation.item.destination_length[named]}$
${navigation.item.destination_time[remaining]}
${navigation.item.destination_time[arrival]}

so it would be displayed in the standard osd elements.
