Give real km distance vs destination - not straight line
When entering the destination address please give a real distance by road and not in straight line.
This would avoid to underestimate the time needed to reach the destination when we are just planning a travel in advance.

Although this would be nice, i dont think this is feasible. The only way to find the travel time would be the calculate it based on current traffic conditions.
Given how long it takes to calculate the route for your single destination - that would need to be repeated for every search match.
The only way to do this would be keeping the enormous matrix of travel times for large number of nodes (e.g. every city) and at least show the travel time without current traffic conditions. Would be really useful but huge amount of work and resources. -
