Who is this feature for?

This feature is ideal if you regularly charge your phone in your vehicle or if your car doesn’t have a built-in Bluetooth device. The Mileage Tracker App will detect when you charge your phone in the car and log your visit when you unplug your phone upon arrival.

How It Works:

Once activated, when you connect your phone to the charger in your vehicle, the app will notify you. From then on, the app will automatically record your trips when you unplug your phone or turn off the ignition, and “walking” mode is recognized.
