Odometer evidence

Use odometer photos to support your mileage records

An odometer photo log may help you keep mileage evidence in a clearer format. MileRecord is built around that workflow: upload the photo, review the OCR reading, save the record, and keep the image attached.

That can be useful when you want a simpler way to support mileage records without relying on a camera roll and a separate spreadsheet.

Why an odometer photo log can help

A dashboard photo is not a full record on its own, but it can be a useful piece of supporting evidence when it stays connected to the saved mileage record, recorded date, and any notes you add.

  • Keep the source photo with the reading
  • Review OCR instead of retyping every entry
  • Save notes when a record needs extra context

Good habits for cleaner mileage evidence

Clear photos can make review easier and improve the chance of a correct OCR result. The goal is to make your saved records easier to trust later.

  • Take the photo straight on
  • Avoid glare and reflections
  • Make sure the full odometer digits are visible
  • Capture start or end readings consistently

Use photo evidence as part of a wider record

MileRecord can support mileage evidence and record sharing, but you should still check local rules and speak to your accountant about how records should be kept in your situation.
