Advice of Mileage Tracking App or Software

[Scott Dixon]

Putting together all of my tax info for the year and I was reminded of how poor I am at tracking mileage. Very interested if anyone has used any iPhone/Android Apps with success. I am imagining an App which you could click Start when leaving the house and End when returning home and the GPS functionality of the smart phone would do the rest. Then fill in a few more pieces of info and all the mileage could simply be output to a .txt, .csv, or .xls. which I could input into my master excel spreadsheet.

Thanks!

Scott, I had the same realization at tax time a couple of years ago.

But I have found myself to be much more effective tracking mileage with my odometer and then pen and paper in a personal calendar/planner than in my smart phone. It is just one of those tasks you do when it's rushed, you do over and over, and I find it easier to open the planner for 3 seconds, write it quickly, and be done. I then total my miles set end of month when I change out calendar pages.

This of course is very personal and you may not physically use pen and paper at all. But I thought it might help to know other people struggle with same issue and attack it differently.

Best of luck.
