Descent and possible shortcut A320

Hello everyone,

I’d like a quick advice on the best source to adapt descent in European airspace.
On most arrivals radar vectors are given and then it’s a matter of descent trying to predict the routing. A part from UK, I see trackmiles by ATC are not very reliable, just an help.
in order to plan my descent what’s the best way to estimate trackmiles?
i see there are different variations from PROG Page with the runway: this is quite good on straight in approaches, not really when arriving from base or downwind. I see people using this method tend to arrive low.
ND? Extended centerline?
