    This is what I meant...

    For example I drive from point A to point B and normally that takes 1 hour and 09 minutes but since in Germany "TMC" (inappropriate name but for the sake of this argument we will use it) work they will change my ETA. Here is how. When I start my navi offline or before it loads TMC it will show 1 hours 09 minutes and after TMC update it will CHANGE ETA and show 1 hour 45 minutes.

    Yes you can turn off TMC but you need to make 3 or 4 clicks to do it and to do that during driving it is quite dangerous. On the other hand I would love to have TMC too since sometimes it is accurate and useful.

    Spoiler: Many clicks to turn it off
    TMC OFF


    What I would like to have is ability to shut off TMC with one click at least or not at all. I mean better option would be extra ETA shown (original eta without TMC or traffic change)

    Let me give you some pics to illustrate what I mean...

    First picture shows route (without TMC) - 1:09
    Spoiler: NO TMC - 1 09
    No TMC


    Next Picture - with TMC - 1:45

    TMC EVENTS - EXTRA TIME
    Spoiler: CLICK TO SEE
    TMC EVENTS


    Spoiler: WITH TMC - 1 45
    WITH TMC


    So, if I am driving something and people called me and ask "Hey how far are you"? what should I say 1:09 or 1:45. Sometimes TMC is obsolete and I should calculate in second what ETA is correct or make 4 5 clicks to get real ETA by turning TMC off. First it is dangerous, second I do not want that. I would like to have info cause sometimes it helps.
    What I would like to have is one more ETA and that is WITHOUT TMC... here is PS illustration..

    I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE EXTRA TIME LIKE SHOWN HERE (TIME WITHOUT TMC, ORIGINAL TIME 1:09)
    Spoiler: ETA WITHOUT TMC
    ETA EXTRA


    I drive often ad sometimes ETA adds 2 or 3 hours, it is really confusing sometimes...I believe this can be useful to many. Just UX or some trick to DISPLAY one more ETA only original one (without TMC)
