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.

Negative Distance Values

This tends to happen when odometer records are inserted out of chronological order, to fix this, all you have to do is select all of the records, right click on them, and select "Recalculate Distance" This will update all of the initial mileages to be in a chronological order.

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.

Trip Recorder

New in 1.3.9, an experimental feature to tap into the users devices' GPS to update odometer and record routes while driving.

This feature requires the LubeLogger instance to be served via HTTPS to a device with a browser tbat supports Geolocation and Wakelock API. When a trip is being recorded, the app will prevent the screen/device from going to sleep, and will retrieve the user's coordinates every 3 seconds.

You will need to enable Precise Location for your browser in order for LubeLogger to retrieve your location accurately.
