How does a GPS work with ETA?

852 views

I noticed this the other day, I turned my Google Maps GPS on, put in destination. It told me the trip would take 9 hours. I drove ~8-10 over the speed limit, hit almost no traffic, it took a bit under 9 hours.

How does it calculate time? I would have thought going 8 over the limit for 9 hours would have meant I would have gotten back over an hour earlier, no?

The ETA is also constantly updating – it will not show that you “arrived earlier than expected”.
