Time to destination wrong with 5.00 firmware

Question

Time to destination always wrong with 5.00. 
 
 Since beta 4.22 the time to destination when following a course made with Strava is always too long : the time is almost double

I don't think it has changed in build 5.00. The Edge 500 and 1030+ use very different methods to compute the time to destination. 
 The 500 I think uses your average moving speed over some prior period. Units with navigational maps such as the 1030+ use data associated with the road classification. 
 
 Is the time too short or too long?

For all of you, who want to try this datafields with IQ HMs DIY, I've made a collection of files which might be of help. 
 
 Find enlosed a ZIP file which contains the DIY-XML files for loading into designertool, but also the setup strings, which can be used without downloading the designertool. 
 Utilities for TimeToDest and ETA DIY.zip 
 
 GUIDANCE: 
 Download 2 clones of IQ HMs DIY to your Edge 1030 or 1030 PLUS. It's recommended not to use clone #6, because this is used for beta-testing. 
 Open Garmin Express or Garmin Connect Mobile for your device. Goto IQ datafields. Open the setup page for each clone and paste the setupstring of your choice into line 2. Save (and unplug the device). 
 Boot it again. Goto the desired screen. Tap and hold the datafield which should show DIY datafield until it gets black. Chose desired IQ DIY clone #. 
 Good luck! 
 
 NOTE! 
 To get TimeToDest and ETA displayed, it is necessary to start an activity and get a value for average speed! Both datafields are updated each second based on current average speed!
