Strange course time estimate calculation

Hi,

Instinct estimates the time of courses (usually by bike) like if I moved by lazy walk.

Is there any way how to change it?

The "Navigate" activity is a generic (and a useless) one. Don't use that. Start the Bike activity, and then start the navigation from within its menu. Also make sure that the course if of the type "Cycling".

That's what I need to explain how to do it...

Select the right type when you are creating or importing the course. You cannot miss it - it is the first thing you'll see when creating or importing a course.

So the course type is some tag in the .fit file, which I cannot change in the Instinct itself? I use plotaroute.com for course creating :-( .

Courses from 3rd may be without a predefined sport type, hence will be visible in all applicable outdoor activities. At Plotaroute, as far as I remember you can adjust time estimation by using the function Timer. There are also pre-defenied profiles for hiking, running, cycling, and horse riding:
