Trip Computer

FREE. No ads. No in-app purchases. No feature restrictions.

• Displays time, distance, cost and many more facts about your journey.

• BATTERY SAVER MODE (optional) can dramatically increase battery life while tracking.

• AUTO START / STOP (optional) based on your activity for simple journey recording.

• Choose your own mileage expense rate, or simply set it to zero to turn this feature off.

• Measure distances in miles, kilometres or even meters.

• Simple layout plus daytime and night-time themes for drivers.

• Supports Android Wear smart-watches.

• Suitable for business, sport and leisure use.

Trip Computer's optional battery-savier setting means it's the only mileage expense tracking tracking app that can last all day. With the battery saver feature turned on, Trip Computer doesn't need your GPS to figure out your location, it can use the cellphone network to triangulate your position instead.

Trip Computer's simple layout has themes for both daytime and night-time use. Distances can be measured in Miles, Kilometres or Meters and any change in your preferences will take immediate effect (so you can even switch mid journey if you like). Journey recording runs in the background so you can get on with other things. Your last trip is automatically stored and is reloaded whenever you restart the App.

Trip Computer uses your local currency when calculating the mileage expense cost of a journey. A default mileage expense rate of 0.45 per mile has been pre-set, but you can change the rate to suit you.
