How accurate is the time estimate on google map's Get Directions feature?

I am planning a roadtrip, and want to know approximately what town I will be in at midnight. How accurate is google map's time estimate?|||Yeah, they are ok depending on interstate/ highway involved. For short distances, they are all jacked up due to traffic problems





But as stated, you gotta factor in your driving habits. does your group stop to pee every 1 .5 hrs?|||well with any of them they dont factor stopping for fuel or to eat and at speed of 55 so its way off if add like 50 mph 100 miles wil be two hours would be closer|||its acually close but its rated at legal speed of 65 or 55 but you can estimate the time by the speed like your going 60 miles and 60 miles anhour it will take you a hour! so better way to git the right time is find out how many miles it is and avrage it to the speed you usually drive!|||I find it pretty good actually. I always stop more and take detours etc, but from all my travels, without any major traffic delays and following the legal speed limits it works fine for me.|||They are fairly accurate.


Add time for stops


If there is roadwork, traffic jams, then that much time will get added to the estimate


The estimates are for the posted speed limit.
