Calculating Travel time

I currently have an app that will calculate your current location. Then the app lists parking lots around your current location. All locations are in the CLLocation format. I can currentlly calculate the distance in meters. However, what I would like to do is give the user a travel time from their current location to a selected parking lot. I looked around on google and am having trouble finding a solution.

I am using Swift 2.3

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could you convert the meters into feet for example:

let distanceInFeet = distanceInMeters * 3.28084

And then display the result of that?

Yes, that would work to get the distance in feet. But what I am really looking for is to get a Time that it would take to get from one location to another.
