10 GPS mileage log questions, answered

Real questions people ask — with the answer and how AutoLog solves each one.

How do I keep a mileage log for tax?

AutoLog records every trip with start and end location and distance, and exports a GoBD-compliant PDF for Germany, Austria and Switzerland — plus HMRC (UK), IRS (US) and CRA (Canada) rules. Your tax office accepts it as a proper Fahrtenbuch.

How do I track business trips automatically with GPS?

Start a trip in AutoLog and it tracks the route with GPS, calculating the distance automatically. Stop it when you arrive and the trip is saved with the kilometres already worked out.

How do I track multiple vehicles?

AutoLog supports multiple vehicles, so you can keep a separate mileage log for the van and the car, each with its own trips and summaries.

How do I calculate my mileage allowance?

AutoLog sums the kilometres for the month and applies your configured allowance rate, so you see the deductible amount at a glance instead of doing the maths by hand.

How do I export my mileage log?

Export as a GoBD-compliant PDF, a CSV, or share the log over WhatsApp — whatever your tax advisor or employer wants.

How do I separate business and private trips?

Mark each trip business or private as you log it. AutoLog keeps them separate so your business mileage is clean and ready for the tax return.

How do I get a monthly mileage summary?

AutoLog has a dashboard and a monthly summary that totals your kilometres and allowance, so you see the full picture for each month.

How do I find a past trip?

Search your trip history by date or location. AutoLog keeps every trip with its details, so a trip from months ago is still easy to find.

How do I keep my mileage data safe?

AutoLog stores your trips on your device and backs up to JSON. Your routes and totals are private — no account, no cloud.

Does a digital mileage log satisfy the tax office?

Yes, if it records start/end location, distance, date and purpose. AutoLog's GoBD PDF (DE/AT/CH) and HMRC/IRS/CRA-compliant export is designed to meet exactly those requirements.
