I use an old fashioned style app which requires writing using a physical input device such as a pen or pencil on a physical output device such as paper.

I keep the gps on my phone turned off. It eats up the battery and I don't like being watched where I go and what I do.

I still use a mileage log sheet.  I track with pen and paper. It is simple and it works.  It has never failed me.

I don't know of any, John.  I find it just as easy to jot down the mileage on my odometer.

Suggest you develop it and sell to us.....

No time to jot dot all that data on a phone based system. That is why realtors keep a stack of receipts and let tax filer tally them...

Thanks to everyone who has commented. It looks like the consensus is to keep a paper log. I want to do the logging electronically, hopefully in the CLOUD so I can retrieve and edit the material that is there.

My life is in my smartphone. I use my laptop to do data entry and retrieve the info in my smartphone and tablet. All my listing data is in Evernote. Dropbox holds my file system including maps and photographs.

Good morning John. As far as I know a GPS system is built in to all Droid systems, but not sure about the mileage tracker.
