Mileage log app and vehicle logbook for iPhone

• Date, start and end address, distance. Addresses are looked up automatically from the GPS track.
• An odometer chain. You enter your car's odometer once; from then on every trip carries a start and an end reading that continues from the last one. When a reading you type from the dashboard doesn't match, the log shows the gap instead of hiding it.
• Business, Commute (home–work) or Private, with the purpose and the client or business partner.
• Saved places such as your office or a client fill in the address, the trip type, the purpose and the client for you. An optional work-hours rule files drives made in your working hours as business.
• Background recording, and if you like, automatic recording of every drive. A drive the phone missed can be added by hand.

In the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada and Australia the log shows your business-use share. There, driving between home and your regular workplace counts as private, and RoadTrace counts it that way.

Where a private ceiling decides the tax, the log shows a meter against it: the Netherlands (500 private km a year, the bijtelling rule), Austria (500 km a month) and Sweden (100 mil, which is 1,000 km a year, on at most 10 occasions).

• Every line and every change goes into a chain: each record carries a SHA-256 fingerprint of the one before it, so a change made behind the log's back shows.
• Lines are sealed after 7 days (you can change the window). A change after that is printed in the report as a correction, next to the original.
• A deleted line stays in the record as a deletion.

• An A4 PDF laid out as your country's document: Mileage log (UK, Ireland, US), Vehicle logbook (Australia), Mileage logbook (Canada), Rittenregistratie, Körjournal, Kørebog, Kjørebok, Ajopäiväkirja or Fahrtenbuch. And a CSV.
• For a month, a year or a period you choose, per vehicle. Gaps and corrections are marked. Miles in the UK and the US.
• Exporting the report is part of RoadTrace Pro: one payment, nothing renews. The log itself, sorting and editing are included.

• Australia (ATO logbook method): a logbook covering at least 12 continuous weeks, with the reason, the destination, the odometer readings at the start and end and the kilometres of each work journey. It stays valid for 5 years.
• United Kingdom: if you claim tax relief on business mileage through PAYE, HMRC asks for copies of your mileage log with the reason for every journey and the postcode where each journey started and ended.
• Canada (CRA): for each business trip the date, destination, purpose and kilometres, plus the odometer reading at the start and end of the year.
• United States (IRS): for business use of a car, each trip's date, destination, business purpose and miles, and your total miles for the year.

RoadTrace keeps the record with these details. Whether a log is enough for your claim is for your tax office or employer to decide.

• Rittenregistratie: Netherlands, the 500 km rule for a company car
• Körjournal: Sweden, förmånsbil and ringa omfattning
• Kørebog: Denmark, the daily kørebog and kørselsgodtgørelse
• Kjørebok: Norway, documenting business driving
• Fahrtenbuch: Germany, Austria and Switzerland
• Ajopäiväkirja: Finland, car benefit and business kilometres

Rules are built in for the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada and the US. RoadTrace speaks 19 languages.

The log is stored on your iPhone, not on a server of ours. Addresses are looked up with Apple's geocoding service. You can save a backup copy in the Files app, and RoadTrace only restores a backup that has not been tampered with.

The same app is still the GPS speedometer and trip recorder: speed and altitude at every point of the road.
