What is the easiest way of getting a time estimate for when you will reach a point that's "near" to your current route? ie is it possible to click a feature (town, VRP, etc) and get an ETA (either reaching it, or closest abeam)?

Thanks

I only recently tried the "Track Waypoint" feature while airborne and it worked well.
You select the feature on the map you wish to track (not sure it works for towns though), choose "track this waypoint"  and SD give you a bearing and distance from selected point (Nav beacon; airfield; VRP; airways reporting point etc.).
A simple bit of arithmetic required to derive ETA though.

...not sure it works for towns though...

I can confirm that it does work for towns. In fact, it works for any point on the chart.

Thanks Mike - I wasn't sure as I only tried it with an aviation feature.

Thanks all,  I was missing a couple of tricks.

There's also the virtual radar at the bottom of the screen. Your trajectory line on there shows 2, 5 and 10 minutes into the future which makes it straightforward to estimate your time passing a certain point. You can also bring up the What's Here menu on virtual radar which will show exactly how many miles and minutes ahead the point your finger is.
