Get ready to track your first trip
A short checklist for location, schedule, calendar, vehicle, and your first recorded drive.
Use this checklist after creating your Mileage Quest account. If your employer provides Mileage Quest, wait for the invitation and sign in with the email address to which your administrator assigned a license.
- Install and sign in. Get Mileage Quest from the App Store or Google Play, then sign in with your account email.
- Allow trip tracking. Turn on location services for your phone and grant Mileage Quest background location access for automatic tracking. On iPhone, select Always; on Android, choose the all-the-time location option. Check that tracking is enabled in the app.
- Set your tracking schedule. Review Work Period and Vacation Mode so the app is active when you expect it to record drives.
- Set up your calendar. If you want calendar events to appear, enable the calendar on your phone and in Mileage Quest. Events need a physical address and a start and end time. See the calendar setup guide.
- Add your vehicle. Enter the vehicle you will use and check that it is selected when you review a trip.
- Review a drive. After your next drive, open Trips. Confirm the trip date, distance, vehicle, category, and purpose before using it in a report.
If a drive is missing, see Why are my trips not being logged? If you cannot sign in, see invitation and sign-in help.
