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.

  • 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
