Heyho, (deutsche Version unten)
last week i installed Navit on my Raspberry Pi 2 and everything just works fine.
I did the "manual" setup, so it should be the newest Version.

My Problem: The ETA is terribly wrong. But i asked myself how it is calculated, the trip-duration time is pretty accurate. So if it's added up with the current daytime it should be correct.
Does somebody know what's going wrong with my version? The Picture i added to this post shows the Problem.
I didn't change the Line within the navit.xml except for the enabled boolean of course.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance


Heyho,
ich habe letzte Woche Navit auf meinem Raspberry Pi 2 installiert und soweit läuft alles super.
Es war die "manuelle" Installation, müsste also das aktuellste sein.

Jetzt zu meinem Problem: Die geschätzte Ankunftszeit stimmt überhaupt nicht. Allerdings frage ich mich, wie diese berechnet wird, denn die geschätzte Fahrzeit stimmt ziemlich genau. Wenn diese also einfach auf die aktuelle Uhrzeit addiert werden würde, wäre alles richtig. Weiß jemand was da falsch läuft? Das Bild im Anhang zeigt das Problem noch mal.
In der entsprechenden Zeile habe ich nichts verändert, die ist genau wie bei der Installation von Navit. Bis auf die Tatsache, dass ich ETA enabled habe.


Hat jemand eine Idee?
Danke im Voraus

Is the ETA off by an integer number of hours? If so, it might be that Navit does not use the correct time zone. You could try to set the TZ environment variable to the correct value for your timezone before running Navit. I had the same problem on TomTom.

Thank you for your answer.

Unfortunately it's not off by an integer, i should have explained the picture, i'm sorry.

The numbers on the left side of the screen, show the distance and the time to the destination.
on the top right side (where it's a little dark) you can see the regular clock, beyond the ETA.

So the clock says: 15:28 o'clock (3:28 pm)
the distance (time): 00:27 hrs
the ETA: 02:28 o'clock (2:28 am)

so in fact the ETA is off by an integer, but from the regular time and i think it's just by accident. On another Photo the Clock says 12:01 (pm) and ETA 10:52 am.

I looked through the configuration options but i can't find one that seems to adjust the time-zone, so could you please telle me where/how i can do that?

These links should help you:

Please post the OSD settings from your navit.xml, at least those that
display the current time and ETA.

I just tested with my Navit installation (on Linux). If I use
I get an ETA display. The time looks correct, and is shown in the system timezone.
On Linux, Navit uses the standard user timezone, as explained in the links in xenos1984's answer.

Also see the Wiki docs under http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OSD for more details.

I had a lot to do the last few days, so i didn't have time to check on the time zone within raspbian, but i indeed had trouble changing it via the gui of raspbian so i'll try it via terminal. But this will take a few more days i assume, because the raspberry pi is build in the car right now for some tests (temperature-sensors, rading OBD-Data of the car, mulitmedia, etc).

But if the time-zone is wrong, why is it showing the correct time ? And shouldn't be off some whole hours and not also serveral minutes?

Here's the Code from my navit.xml it seems there is no difference to your line of ETA-Code.

I hope i'll find some time tomorrow for changing the time zone.

Thank you for your suggestions

The time zone seems to be correct:

That looks correct. I tested it with my Navit installation, and it seems to work as expected.

However, the crucial part is missing - the part which displays the current time.
Could you add that, too?

Also, I have a suspicion about the cause of the problem:

If I read the code correctly, Navit internally uses two different notions of "now": The current system (OS) time, and the time from the last GPS report. If you have a good GPS fix, and your OS clock is set correctly, the two should be the same, but if not - not.

I think the ETA display uses the OS time (plus travel time), while the clock display uses GPS time. That may explain the discrepancy. Try checking your system clock and see which display in Navit agrees with it.

I'm sorry for my late response, but i had a lot of stuff going on ...

This should be the Time:


I shoud also mention that i splitted the navit xml in different xmls for a better overview.

Your idea with the different times (gps and system) seems to be a good one.
I've checked the systemtime:
via
which returns:

But it seems to be correct, too.

Maybe the GPS is off but somehow i doubt that.

GPS is clock-based, so if the gps time is off you'll have bigger issues than the erroneous ETA

Can you please share your locales too?
