What does the trip map show?
For a running or paused trip, the map on the trip page shows the route driven so far and updates as the driver moves. For a finished trip it shows the whole route, loaded when you open the map. Alongside it you see the planned route and estimated distance and time, and the odometer readings the driver entered at each step.
How accurate is the recorded route?
Each position carries the time it was taken, the speed and the phone’s accuracy estimate. Odobase filters out impossible jumps, and files every point under the time it was recorded rather than the time it arrived, so a batch uploaded after a signal gap never lands in the wrong stretch of a paused-and-resumed trip.
How does tracking work with round trips?
When a driver pauses and resumes a trip, each stretch is recorded as its own part. The map and the distance exclude the gap in between, which is exactly when the vehicle may be doing another job.
Why track by phone instead of a GPS box?
A phone-based record needs no hardware, no installation and no SIM contract per vehicle, and it follows the trip rather than the vehicle, which is what you invoice. For the same reason it is private: the driver is only recorded while a trip is running.
