Is there a built-in data field for this when navigating a course? Basically a sum of current elapsed time + ETE.
Similar is provided for distance (distance + distance remaining = estimated total distance).
Sometimes you are aiming for a distance, which is covered. Sometimes a pace, which is also covered (average pace). Yet sometimes just a total activity time.
Of course, the math can easily be done in your head using what is available, but one less thing to think about is always nice :)
