That's funny you say that. The "time" situation was something we struggled with to find what the best experience would be. The questions we had were:

- Do you stop 1 hour all the time when you stop at a restaurant? What if you take it to-go?

- What if you stop at a stop like the World's Largest Frying Pan for just 5 minutes? Should we allow users to add custom time limits for each of the stops?

- Would we be complicating things adding custom times?

All great questions and things for us to think about. Thanks a ton for the feedback.

I'd only want an estimate of the travel times between destinations, not an estimate of how long I'd actually spend stopped at each (which I wouldn't attempt to estimate in advance anyway).

For me the use case is this: I want to drive from (say) San Francisco to Denver, and want to plan out a schedule which involves stopping every two hours for a break.

Ahhh...got it. Thanks for clarifying that.
