# Commute Time Tracker: Compare Every Drive of a Route

> Odo groups every drive of the same route and compares them: duration, moving and idle time, average speed, your fastest drive, best day and time to leave, and a live ahead-or-behind check while you drive.

When you drive a route you’ve driven before, Odo finds your past drives of it and shows how this one compares: faster or slower than average, than last time, and where it ranks.

## Why it matters

A commute feels slow or quick, but you rarely know by how much. Comparing drives of the same route shows what really changes your journey time, such as the day, the hour you leave or a different way through town.

## Matched for you

Odo treats two drives as the same route when they start and end in the same places, in the same direction. You don’t tag anything.

- Matching radius: Strict 150 m, Standard 300 m, Relaxed 750 m, or a custom distance
- A saved place’s own radius can widen the match around it
- The Route History card appears on a trip once you’ve driven that route twice
- Averages appear from three drives

## How this drive compares

The card on each trip puts the drive in context, and the full Route History screen breaks it down.

- This drive against your average and against last time
- Its rank, for example 3rd fastest of 14
- Duration, moving time, idle time, distance, average and top speed
- Every past drive of the route, sorted by newest or best

## When to leave

Route History looks for patterns across your drives, so you can see which days and times are quicker.

- Results by day of the week and by time of day
- “Heading there now?”: a typical journey time for leaving now, based on your own past drives
- Based on your drives, not on live traffic

## Ahead or behind, while you drive

During navigation to a place you’ve driven to before, Odo can show whether you’re ahead of or behind a past drive at the same point, and say it out loud.

- Compare with your usual drive, your best or your last time
- Usual is the middle of your past drives; with fewer than three, it’s the last one
- Optional voice announcement
- Set in Settings → Driving → Navigation → Ahead or Behind

## Questions and answers

### How can I track how long my commute takes?

Let Odo record your drives, automatically or with a tap. Once you’ve driven the same route twice, each trip shows a Route History card with this drive compared to your average and to last time, and the full screen lists every drive of that route.

### Does Odo tell me the best time to leave?

It shows how your past drives of a route compare by day of the week and time of day, and a typical journey time for leaving now. It’s based on your own history, not live traffic, so treat it as a guide.

### Do I have to name or tag my routes?

No. Odo matches drives that start and end in the same places in the same direction. You can make matching stricter or looser in Settings → Driving → Route History → Route Matching.

### Does a different route between the same places count?

Yes. Matching uses the start and end, so different ways between the same two places are compared together. That’s how you find out which way is quicker.

### Can I record routes and replay them?

Yes. Every trip is automatically recorded with full GPS path, speed, elevation, and stops. You can replay any route on standard, satellite, or hybrid maps at 1× up to 64× speed, jump straight to your top-speed moment, and export a trip as GPX, or your trips as CSV or PDF.
