Distance-based methods give you a chance to calculate a short-cut scenario. Estimate two distance-to-go values, easily done just by looking at the ND, and you can get yourself ready for both. I am not sure how that would work with ETAs derived from the active FMS, based on the active wpt sequence and speed assumptions.
