One function of a GPS unit that can navigate is it can generate, using your avg speed, approx how long to your destination. This assumes you are following a route.
But it's a pretty easy thing to figure out that if your avg. moving speed is 15 mph, you are doing a 4 minute mile, this the remaining 20 miles will take you XX time. No way to calculate how much time you will spend stopped though.
