Mileage Tracker

Purpose

The Mileage Tracker app is aimed at people who wish to track their vehicle mileage for tax purposes. It is a narrowly-focused app that should be very good at what it does and not try to do a bunch of other tracking or tax-related stuff.

Features

  • Mileage tracked by GPS
    • Option to save route driven on a map
    • Option to record odometer reading either manually or by taking a photo
    • Timestamps automatically attached
  • Ease of use:
    • One-touch button to start or stop tracking
    • Reminder if tracking but stationary for configurable period of time
    • Easy to enter a saved route if you forgot to track it
  • Simple report generation
    • Easy setup: default settings just work but changes are simple to make
    • Export to iCloud, email, (google docs?)

Technologies Used

  • GPS
  • Maps

  • iCloud
  • (iAds?)
