Record Car Mileage With Car History Entries#37

service or ad-hoc maintenance - have the ability to add a mileage reading

Received more feedback on this from outside the system so sharing it here with everyone:

You could also display extra information on a timeline entry such as ‘days since’ or ‘miles since’ to quickly see how long ago a certain event was when viewing records. - Jason

By comparing the most recently recorded mileage to the mileage recorded at the time of service we can display on every entry in your history file how many miles have been travelled since that event. This would allow you to search for ‘Oil’ for example, and immediately see the number of miles / km travelled since the last ‘Oil Change’ service entry.

Also a general update on the progress we’re making on this. We’ve been discussing this internally and with our users a lot and we’re confident we have a good first solution which will allow us to not only record this information in an easy and convenient way, but also so it can be used to power automated reminders, generate tasks, and the upcoming Car and Garage dashboard #41 as well.

I’ve also split out the Fuel / Trip tracking into a seperate feedback here #53 as even though it was originally merged into this feedback it seems like the functionality required for that is different enought that it warrents its own place to keep track of.

Hello All,

I’d like to share with you some designs which we’ve done to implement the above feedback.

• We will be adding support for adding mileage to several entry types
• You will be able to see the mileage and mileage ‘since’ (compared to your current mileage) when viewing all entries together and on the entry pages themselves.

Attached screenshots of our internal mockups / brainstorming. Please ignore the titles and descriptions and amounts etc, they are just filler.

Hello everyone!

So, some of the eagle eyed among you may have already seen… its out!

We released mileage tracking support this afternoon so please give it at go and let us know what you think!

As always thank you so much to all the legends that sent us in suggestions, examples and requests! Happy mileage tracking!

p.s. Drive log coming soon!
