Recording your trips yourself? No: the app does it for you.

With automatic trips, you just get moving and Ecomiles takes care of the recording. No starting, no manual finishing and no ecomiles lost along the way.

Why turn it on?

How does it work?

With the feature on, the app uses artificial intelligence and your phone’s GPS to recognize your trips:

How to turn it on

  1. On the home screen, tap the gear icon in the top right corner to open settings.
  2. Select “Smart tracking”.
  3. Turn on the motion tracking permission.
  4. Done: automatic trips are on.

You don’t need to keep the app open. Automatic recording works even when the app is closed or in the background, as long as permissions and location (GPS) are enabled.

💡
Want to know when the app detects a trip?

Turn on “Background trip reminder” and get a notification every time a trip is detected.
