# Why am I unable to view the ETA and ETE for a route I am planning? 

ETE (Estimated Time Enroute) and ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) are dynamically calculated based on your current GPS location and movement. However, specific conditions will cause these fields to display as blank or with dashes:

- **No GPS:** If GPS is disabled or unavailable on your device, the ETE/ETA lines in the route panel will be blank.
- **Low Speed or Stopped:** If your ground speed is less than 5 knots, or if the ownship has stopped, the fields will display as ETE: --- , ETA: ---
- **Multi-point entities:** Including SAR patterns, MTRs, procedures and ARRs, ETE and ETA only display if they are last item in the route and GPS is enabled; otherwise, they display as dashes.
- **Doghouses:** ETE and ETA are calculated based on a manual **Time on Target** and **Ground Speed** entry. If these fields are not entered, the values will remain blank. If GPS is lost while using Doghouses, the dynamic time field will display "No GPS".
