Step-by-Step Guide

A GPS-tracked mileage log that fills in on its own

Transmitter GPS The car logs every trip, and Kilometrówka.net converts it into a ready-to-use entry in the log. All you have to do is review it and close out the month. Below, we’ll use a sample company to show how this works in practice.

  1. Transmitter in the car When you order a GPS transmitter from us, each one is assigned to a specific car.
  2. You drive as usual The transmitter automatically records where the car started, where it went, and how many kilometers it traveled.
  3. The post appears automatically Each route goes to mileage the right car and month.
  4. Check and close At the end of the month, you review the entries, print them, or download a PDF.

The routes are automatically added to the mileage log

You don't have to write anything down or remember to record the odometer reading. When the car finishes a trip, a new entry appears in the mileage log.

Each GPS entry is automatically populated with the following:

  • date of departure,
  • route description – the address from which the car departed and the address to which it arrived,
  • number of kilometers as measured by the transmitter,
  • counter – added to the previous entry,
  • the person in charge – the driver assigned to the car.

You can recognize entries from the transmitter by the compass icon next to the route description. If a mileage log for the new month doesn't exist yet, the app will create one automatically when you record your first route.

Mileage log for a car with a transmitter—entries with the compass icon were added automatically. For now, the routes are described by addresses.
You have complete control over this. You can edit any GPS entry (pencil icon), add a note to it, or add a manual entry next to it. You can also disable automatic entry addition for a specific car: in the vehicle edit screen, under "Additional Information," uncheck the box Add entries from your GPS device to your current mileage log.

Places – Name the places you go to

The address alone doesn't tell you much. A waypoint is a location with your name—for example, „Company Headquarters,” „Budmax Wholesale,” or „Gas Station”—and the destination of your trip, which should be entered into the mileage log.

The fastest way: straight from the logbook entry

  1. Click compass icon next to the GPS entry. On your phone, expand the entry and select Name the point.
  2. Choose which place you're referring to: Where to (end of the route) or Where (start of the route).
  3. Type item name i purpose of the trip, e.g., „Delivery of goods to a customer.” Predefined suggestions—Company Headquarters, Customer, Gas Station, Post Office—fill in the fields with a single click.
  4. Set range of operation. The default setting of 300 m is usually sufficient for a parking lot at a business; you can set it from 25 m to 5 km. You can also move the marker on the map.
  5. Click Save the point. Leave „Automatically update matching entries...” checked, and the entries for that car from the current month will be renamed immediately.
"Name a Point on the GPS Route" Window: map with a circle of a given radius, point name "Budmax Warehouse," trip purpose "Delivery of goods to a customer," radius 300 m
The „Name a Point on the GPS Route” window. The circle on the map shows the point's radius of influence.

All locations in one place

In the menu Maps → Points You'll see a list of the company's locations and their locations on the map. Here, you can also add a location where the car hasn't been yet: click Add a point and mark the location on the map. The waypoints are shared company-wide—they work for all vehicles.

Map View – Points: a list of six company locations, including their destinations and radii, and a map of the Poznań area with the locations marked
Maps → Points: the company's headquarters, customers, warehouse, and gas station for a sample company.
Start with the company's headquarters. Check the box next to it that says „This is the company’s headquarters—routes ending here are return trips.” This way, every return trip to the company will be automatically generated (more on this in the next step).

Repeated routes speak for themselves

You only need to name a location once. From that point on, any route that starts or ends near it will be given that name—and the „Destination” field fills in automatically.

With points

Company Headquarters – Budmax WholesalePurpose of the trip: Delivery of goods to the customer
Budmax Wholesale – Company HeadquartersPurpose of the trip: Return to the company's headquarters

How it works:

  • Name A waypoint replaces an address at the beginning or end of a route.
  • Purpose of the trip starts from the point where the route ends – You're going to see a client, so the goal is, for example, „Meeting with a client.”.
  • Returning to the Company: A route that ends at a location marked as the company headquarters is assigned the destination „Return to company headquarters.” You can change the text or disable this option in Maps → Points, in the section titled „Returning to the Company’s Headquarters.”.
  • Places you haven't named are described by their address—you can fill them in manually or add another item.
The same route after adding waypoints: Company headquarters – Budmax Wholesale, destination: Delivery of goods to the customer; return trip with destination: Return to company headquarters
The same mileage log after adding points. The names and purposes of the trips were filled in automatically, including for return trips.
Your edits are safe. If you change the description or purpose of your trip in the post yourself, the app won't overwrite it—it only automatically fills in the fields you haven't changed.

Combining Routes into a Single Entry

The transmitter records a separate route after each stop. If you refueled or made a quick stop along the way, it’s more convenient to have just one entry for that in the mileage log. That’s what merging is for.

Method 1: Two adjacent entries

Hover your mouse between two entries—a button will appear Merge the selected items, and both entries will be highlighted. One click merges them into a single entry.

The "Merge Selected" button is visible between the entry "Arkada Office – Gas Station" and the entry "Gas Station – Company Headquarters"; both entries are highlighted
The merge button appears between the entries: „Arkada Office – Gas Station” and „Gas Station – Company Headquarters.”.

Method 2: Multiple Entries at Once

  1. Click any entry—checkboxes will appear next to the entries.
  2. Select the entries to merge. Using the key Shift Select the entire range from–to.
  3. Click Merge the selected items above the table.
Two entries from September 2 are selected, and the "Merge" button is selected above the table
Before: two marked entries—5.70 km and 4.26 km.
After merging, one entry: Biuro Arkada – Company Headquarters, 9.96 km
After: one entry, „Arkada Office – Company Headquarters,” 9.96 km.

What is created after the merge:

  • route description: start of the first post – end of the last one,
  • kilometers: the sum of the merged entries; the counter value remains unchanged at the end,
  • date, purpose of the trip, and driver: from the last of the entries being merged.
Merging only organizes the entries in the logbook. The routes recorded by the transmitter remain on the map unchanged— you can always return to them in Maps → Recent Routes. You can merge as long as the kilometer marker is not closed.

Map: Where the cars are and which routes they took

In the menu Maps You'll see the same thing as in the odometer, only on the map: the current location of the cars and the exact course of each route.

Main View – Where the Cars Are Now

All vehicles with transmitters on a single map, along with their license plate numbers and drivers. Click a vehicle in the list to zoom in on it on the map. The pin icon next to the vehicle shows when the transmitter last reported its location.

Maps – Main View: Three company cars marked on the map of Poznań and the surrounding area, with a list of cars and drivers next to them
Maps → Main View: Three vehicles from a sample company on a single map.

Recent Routes – Which Way the Car Went

  1. Select a car from the list on the left.
  2. Select day or the whole thing month.
  3. Switch view: one route shows the trip selected from the list, all – all routes from the selected period at once.
Maps – Recent Routes: Route from Gniezno to Poznań marked on the map; selected date: October 2

Eco Drive – How Drivers Drive

The transmitter records not only the route but also the driving style. Eco Drive converts this into a simple star rating— for each driver and for the entire fleet.

The rating is based on four factors, calculated per 100 kilometers driven:

  • sudden accelerations,
  • sudden braking,
  • sharp turns,
  • speeding – above the speed limit set for the car (130 km/h by default).

The fewer such incidents, the more stars—from 1 to 5. You can find the ranking at Maps → Eco Drive – Driver Ratings, for a selected month or the last 30 days.

Eco Drive: evaluation of the entire fleet, number of kilometers and events evaluated, and a ranking of the top three drivers with stars for acceleration, braking, cornering, and speed
Evaluation of the entire fleet and driver rankings for September.

Driver Details

Click on a driver in the rankings to see how their rating was calculated: stars in each category, a graph showing events day by day, and a list of events with the time, force, and speed of the car. The pin icon opens the incident location on the map. In the tab Routes Here is a list of the driver's trips from that period.

Driver details in Eco Drive: ratings for acceleration, braking, cornering, and speed; a day-by-day event chart; and a list of events
Driver details: ratings by category, day-by-day incidents, and a list of incidents.
Good to know: We issue a rating after driving at least 20 km during the selected period. You can set the speed limit separately for each car in the „Transmitters and Speed Limits” section. Eco Drive is visible to the company owner and employees with full access; it works with transmitters that report driving style.

The employee can only see his own car

You can invite a driver to the app and assign them to a specific car. They will then see only the mileage and routes for that car—without any other vehicles, drivers, or their trips.

Step 1: Invite an employee

Click the steering wheel icon at the top of the screen (Edit the list of drivers and employees). Next to the driver, click the envelope icon, enter their email address, and send the invitation. Leave the „Full Access” field marked – In that case, the employee can only see the vehicles assigned to them.

Drivers tab: The owner and employees marked with a note can only see the vehicles assigned to them and the form for inviting another driver, which includes an email field and the "Full Access" option.
Driver list: For each employee, you can see what they can view and which car they are assigned to. The invitation form is below.

Step 2: Assign it to a car

Click the car icon at the top of the screen (Edit the list of vehicles), open the vehicle and in the section Employee responsible for mileage reimbursement Select an employee. You can also enable a reminder—at the end of the month, the employee will receive an email asking them to close their mileage log.

Toyota Corolla vehicle entry: Anna Kowalska was selected in the "Employee responsible for mileage log" field, and the reminder to close the mileage log was checked
Vehicle Edit: The employee responsible for the mileage log and for reminding others to close it.

What an employee sees after logging in

At the top of the screen, there is a message indicating that he is logged in as a company employee. In the records and on the maps, he sees only his own car.

Employee view: mileage log for a single Toyota Corolla; at the top, the text reads: Employee: Sample Company
A mileage log from an employee's perspective: one car, no buttons for managing drivers and vehicles.
Employee View in Maps – Recent Routes: Only one car appears in the list; the "Eco Drive" option is missing from the menu
Maps from an employee's perspective: the list shows only his car and his routes. The Eco Drive ranking isn't in the menu.
