Total Distance and Duration
The Total Distance and Duration area calculates the total route distance,
the total route duration in days (if needed), hours and minutes and the
average planned speed by own ship over the entire route.
The Time Zone is displayed as UTC. If the current time is set to local and a
time zone offset has been applied in Time Management that time offset is
shown as a plus or minus figure after UTC.
The route distance, time, and average speed are read only values which
are recalculated as the route is changed. For example, if the speed for a
leg is increased the total route time will decrease and the route's average
speed will increase accordingly.
The ETD displays the current date and time and the ETA displays the total
route time value added to the current date and time as the estimated time
of arrival. These values are updated each time the
Clear/New button is
clicked.
