How are navigation apps so accurate in the arrival time?

During a cross country trip, I keyed in a destination that was 2 hours away, through both urban and rural areas and through varying levels of rush hour traffic. I know they have ways of measuring instantaneous traffic levels, but how can they predict road conditions for multi-hour journeys?

They collect, analyze, and store all that traffic data to develop forecasts. Not only can they see the current traffic patterns, but they have been storing that data to use to make predictions.
