I have used the GPS during two trips and it seems that the time is better now.
Has anyone else discovered if the time is better in software 13.20 or if it was just pure luck for me?

Nope, still present.

Tested with only City Navigator maps enabled.

Destination 45 miles away.

Automotive routing showed 55:20.

Motorcycle routing showed 2:40:00.

Huge fail.

Could be this fixed in 14.80? I am not sure. But times are only a few minutes difference. I tested only with simulation mode to an 75km destination.

I think, that this could be partially fixed in 15.20 and newer? I get at least sometimes a good ETA, but not always.
