I'm not sure, but this new Nav system has so many features I think it can make me a cup of coffee in the morning. Talk to someone in the 2nd.

I don't think it show the length of time of a trip but it does show average speed, distance and cruising range.

Given average speed and distance you could always compute the trip time. Of course, shutting the car off for a while resets the trip doesn't it?

No, I think it keeps it in its memory, just like a Nav destination.

Yes! you can compute as follows:

Trip distance -:- Avg MPH = # Hrs (aka, Trip Time)

No, my experience is that it resets after refueling.

If you're using the NAV and you input your destination...once the NAV has calculated your route it will estimate the amount of travel time remaining....Do you see this on the screen above or right below (i forget) the number of miles remaining?
