Update: this product is going to be discontinued, check out RoutePad for a more complete application.
Time The Distance lets you draw a route on the Google Maps, calculates the length of it (miles or kilometers) and calculates the time it takes to arrive at destination, based on your current or average speed. Thanks to the easy way to draw a route, it can be also used as a reference if your route is not the one that the Maps application suggests you, e.g. if you go hiking / jogging / sailing / flying. It is possible to edit a route and reuse it later, just remember to adjust the time you started moving, by tapping the green flag and accessing its properties.

I just bought your app TimeDictance.
I would rate your app 5/5 and turn it into a much appreciated app for all aerial workers if you only could add one simple option! Let the user choose to “set” the speed yourself, by allowing this it can be turned in to a powerful tool measuring helicopter/airplane routes from A-B, essential when quoting aerial works. Also add the choose of “speed” units by km/h / miles/h or preferred knots (used in helicopter for example). I have no doubt it will open up for many pilots around the world will love this great app.
Please keep in mind where this great idea came from when you release version 2.0.
1 knots = 1.852 kilometers/hour

Thank you for the comment and for the suggestion! I’ll work on it soon.
version 1.2 is out with knots and manual speed!
Hi Matteo, I discovered your app on CommandGuru and it’s great for at least 2 reasons. First, it’s very useful. Second, as an iPhone developer myself, I wonder how you manage to draw paths on a MapKit map like that? Or is it not a MapKit map? Can you tell me more about that?
Hi Sebastien, thanks a lot. The map view is a MKMapView, and I use a custom annotation view to draw paths, see the links in this post
Some problems with the route lenght on the map page.. Shows diffrent distance all the time. Can´t be correct . My friend have the older “TimeDistance” App and it works perfect. In the timedistance app it was possible to just see distance between some points and the get the time to travel that route in let´s say 110kt. How will I do that in this new program??/ Andreas
