But, Odometer Recorder is not just a car mileage tracker or mileage calculator only. This Pocket PC software can offer you extra value when it comes to your tax declaration.

The program even allows you to export all your registered mileage and statistics in Comma Separated Values (CSV) files. CSV is a text format recognized by most spreadsheets (such as Microsoft Excel).

You can collect your registered mileage on your Desktop PC

CSV is an ASCII text file where lines are organized, so that each column value is separated by a comma from the next column‘s value; and each row starts a new line. Here is an example of an Odometer Recorder export file:

 "09-05-05","Shopping","5.00","Amsterdam","Amsterdam","Aldi"
 "10-05-05","Job","55.00","Amsterdam","Utrecht",""
 "11-05-05","Job","120.00","Amsterdam","Nijmegen",""
 "11-05-05","Family","10.00","Amsterdam","Amsterdam","Birthday of Kees"
 "12-05-05","Job","120.00","Amsterdam","Nijmegen",""
 "12-05-05","Shopping","8.00","Amsterdam","Amsterdam","Praxis..."
 "13-05-05","Job","55.00","Amsterdam","Utrecht",""
 "13-05-05","Shopping","6.00","Amsterdam","Amsterdam","Aldi"
 "15-05-05","Holiday","405.00","Amsterdam","Antwerpen","Long weekend"


The export file will be saved on your Pocket PC (in a folder of your choice: Business or Personal) with the extension .csv reserved for the CSV file type. This file can be easily exported using your Desktop PC via ActiveSync program or "manually" via Windows Explorer. The exported file can be read by Microsoft Excel as you can see in the following sample screen shot:



Now you are ready to add your registered mileage to a report or database.
