Currently GPS does not show ETA, only remaining distance.
I want to suggest to add a dynamic ETA to show much time is remaining before you reach your destination.
My paint skills are super bad, but could look something like this:

Format is MM:SS
I have noticed that some jobs like pilot, train driver, bus driver, taxi and other jobs that requires you to go to a blip don't always have enabled. Just a blip.
It would be cool if it got implemented there as well.

What about if you stop for few seconds?
By the way, I am supporting your idea, It will give you some power to make yourself work hard/more and it should be typed "Estimated Time of Arrival" not ETA Because some people won't understand what is ETA. Voting positive.

ETA is globally known. Translates can translate it in their own language. I think that Estimated Time Arrival is too long.
If you stop, it'll just show xx:xx. It only works if you move.
It could be averaged so it'll slowly increase/decrease or it could update in real time. I'm not sure which one is easier to implement.

I tried to translate it rn with Arabic, It's typing iyta :P and I am pretty sure it will help.

It won't be accurate as it seems as it will calculate the instant time, and since your speed is likely to change on your way, the output time will give a new number every second. Not worth it in my opinion and I think the distance counter is enough indicator of how long your trip will be. Negative

Nice idea, but whether it will be based on vehicle or it will average out players speed? anyway I am positive with the idea as it will help civilians and many newbies to enjoy the game. But I am not sure how accurate this would be. :tick:

Based on the vehicle you're driving.

This idea is good, GPS usually do feature an Estimated Time of Arrival stamp, and I don't see any issues in having one inside CIT too. As it is already explained how some job requires (or prefers) you to know your ETA on your destination, this feature would be useful on those situations. Definitely a big upvote :tick: from my side, thank you!

Well I think your idea is good. Maybe it make the some civilians jobs more enjoy than now. Sometimes playing jobs with ETA may be good. But some points I am not sure is it possible in game. I think there may be problems and bugs in game. Anyway who is adding that updates can know and decide that if that impossible.
Positive

- Added ETA (estimated time of arrival) based on current speed to distance left text for GPS waypoints. (Arran + Pilovali)
