Odometer

The Odometer tab is where you can log your current odometer reading without having to insert any Service/Repair/Upgrade/Fuel records. This odometer readings entered in this tab allows Reminder urgencies to be calculated as accurately as possible since it uses the maximum mileage reported in each of the tabs to determine the last reported mileage.

The Odometer tab is hidden by default and must be enabled by checking the "Odometer" switch under "Visible Tabs" in the Settings tab.

Best Practices

Odometer records are particularly important in ensuring that the Distance Traveled metric as displayed in the Dashboard chart is calculated as accurately as possible. If the distance traveled metric is of high priority to you, you should record an odometer reading at the beginning and end of each month. This ensures that the app is able to calculate the distance traveled within the month accurately.

API Integration

As with the other tabs, odometer readings can be retrieved via a GET endpoint and inserted via a POST API endpoint.

Example use cases:

• An app to integrate with OBDII and insert odometer reading from the vehicle's computer onto LubeLogger.
• An app to keep track of distance traveled via GPS and incrementing the last reported odometer reading.

These are not functionalities provided out of the box by LubeLogger, and are just examples of the possibilities achievable via the API endpoints.
