You use the odometer in the Mileage Book and your kilometers do not match your vehicle. Then there is an option to adjust it in the Mileage Book. This guide takes you through how to fix it.
The reason why there may be a discrepancy between your vehicle and Mileage Book is that Mileage Book uses Google distances to calculate kilometers, but a vehicle varies greatly in tire size, tire pressure and engine performance. It is therefore a completely standard calculation the system makes to give an estimated kilometer number in your Mileage Book.
Have you checked whether you have a trip ahead of time?
Sometimes your odometer may not be accurate because a manual forward trip has been entered.
How to correct your odometer
1. Start by adjusting the kilometers on the trip that is the starting point
- Login to your mileage book account via www.mileagebook.dk
- Navigate to your driving record in the left menu overview
- Click on the pencil for the turn you want to correct
- Adjust the odometer's new value
- Press Recalculate distance or manually enter the two kilometer values. (NOTE. If you have not take google's default route suggestion, a recalculation will change your route to google's suggestion, enter your kilometers manually instead).
- Press Save at the bottom of the page
2. Correct all kilometer values for all trips, before/after the starting point.
- When you have your starting point corrected, you must correct the kilometer counts of all other trips. You do this by clicking on the 3 dots on the far right of the tour that is your starting point.
- In the dialog box, you just have to make sure all fields are set correctly and choose whether the odometer should correct forward trips or backwards for a given period. If you choose backwards, it will adapt your counter in your driving record overview as illustrated below.
