MileLedger

Applies to: Phone

Set up your vehicles

MileLedger lets you add multiple vehicles and assign a default. Each vehicle stores a nickname, make, model, year, licence plate, and odometer reading — giving you accurate per-vehicle records.

Prerequisites

  • MileLedger installed on phone.

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Vehicles

    Tap More in the tab bar, then tap Vehicles. The Vehicles screen lists all vehicles you have added. If you haven't added any yet, it will be empty.

  2. 2

    Add a new vehicle

    Tap the add button (usually a + icon in the top-right corner). A form opens where you can enter the vehicle details.

  3. 3

    Enter vehicle details

    Fill in the following fields: • Nickname — A short label you'll recognise, such as 'Work Van' or 'Tesla Model 3'. This name appears throughout the app. • Make — The manufacturer, e.g. Ford, Toyota, BMW. • Model — The model name, e.g. F-150, Camry, 3 Series. • Year — The model year of the vehicle. • Licence Plate — Your vehicle's registration plate. This is optional but useful for record-keeping. • Odometer — The current odometer reading when you start tracking. This helps establish a baseline for mileage records.

  4. 4

    Save the vehicle

    Tap Save (or Done). The vehicle is added to your list. If this is the first vehicle you've added, MileLedger automatically sets it as the default.

  5. 5

    Set a default vehicle

    If you have multiple vehicles, you can designate one as the default. The default vehicle is pre-selected when you manually log a new drive, saving time. To change the default, tap the vehicle you want to set as default and look for a 'Set as Default' option.

  6. 6

    Edit a vehicle

    Tap any vehicle in the list to open its detail screen. Tap the edit button to update any field — for example to correct a typo, update the odometer, or change the nickname.

  7. 7

    Delete a vehicle

    To remove a vehicle, open its detail screen and look for a Delete option. Note that deleting a vehicle does not delete the drives associated with it — those remain in your Drives history.

Expected results

  • At least one vehicle appears in the Vehicles list.
  • A default vehicle is set and pre-selects automatically when you log a new drive.
  • Vehicle details (make, model, year, plate, odometer) are saved correctly.

Important notes

  • You can add as many vehicles as you need. There is no limit on the number of vehicles.
  • For accurate reimbursement and tax records, it's good practice to record an odometer reading when you add a vehicle and update it periodically.
  • Drives are associated with a vehicle at the time of recording. If you log a drive on the wrong vehicle, you can edit the drive to correct the association.

Common problems

My vehicle doesn't appear when I log a new drive.

Check that the vehicle was saved correctly in More → Vehicles. If it appears in the list but isn't pre-selected on new drives, confirm that it is set as the default vehicle.

I accidentally deleted a vehicle.

Vehicles cannot be recovered after deletion, but your drives are not deleted along with them. Re-add the vehicle with the same details and, if needed, manually re-associate drives by editing them.
