Hi,
yesterday - coming back from AKL to SYD I noticed that the inflight display of the flightpath was wrong. Approx 20min before landing it showed a time-to-destination of 1.30hr and the red-line on the world map showed the wrong path as well. The other flight info (altitude, speed etc) seemed correct. I have noticed these errors on other flights as well and was wondering where this information is coming from? Certainly not from the autopilot (I hope :().
 
AFAIK, information such as origin, destination, est arrival time are manually input by the flight crew.

Sometimes, they forget to change from the previous segment or simply input incorrect data.
