title: Distance Tracking in Expensify | ||
description: Learn how distance tracking works in Expensify! | ||
--- | ||
|
||
# Overview | ||
|
||
Expensify provides a convenient feature for tracking your mileage-related expenses. You'll find all the essential information to begin logging your trips below. | ||
|
||
# How to Use Distance Tracking | ||
## Mobile App | ||
|
||
First, you’ll want to click the **+** in the top right corner. | ||
|
||
If you select **Manually Create**, you’ll be prompted to enter your mileage, select a rate, and code the expense before clicking **Save**. | ||
|
||

|
||
If you select **Manually Create**: | ||
- Enter your mileage. | ||
- Select a rate. | ||
- Code the expense. | ||
- Click **Save**. | ||
|
||
![Enter your mileage, rate, code the expense, and click save.](https://help.expensify.com/assets/images/ExpensifyHelp_ManualDistance_Mobile.png){:width="100%"} | ||
|
||
If you select **Odometer**: | ||
- Enter your vehicle’s mileage reading before and after your trip. | ||
- Select your rate. | ||
- Code the expense. | ||
- Click **Save**. | ||
|
||

|
||
The **Start GPS** option also exists on the mobile app. However, we’ve learned that most customers prefer to track their mileage after their trips (thus not needing to hit that start button!) | ||
|
||
We’ve temporarily paused the development of GPS mileage tracking in the mobile app, and we recommend you use one of the above options instead! | ||
|
||
|
||
## Web | ||
|
||
Navigate to the **Expenses** page, click **New Expense**, and review the two **Distance** options. | ||
|
||
![Select manually create or create from map to create a new distance request.](https://help.expensify.com/assets/images/ExpensifyHelp_CreateExpense.png){:width="100%"} | ||
|
||
If you select **Manually Create**: | ||
- Enter the number of miles for your trip. | ||
- Mileage rate is automatically selected based on your history, or manually select it if it's your first time. | ||
- Complete any other applicable coding fields. | ||
- Click **Save**. | ||
|
||
![Enter the number of miles, select your rate, code the expense, and click save.](https://help.expensify.com/assets/images/ExpensifyHelp_ManualDistance.png){:width="100%"} | ||
|
||
For **Create from Map** expenses: | ||
- Add your start and end location, and the distance will be calculated. | ||
- You can also click **Add Destination** for multiple stops. | ||
- Leave **Create Receipt** selected if you want a map receipt generated. | ||
- Click **Save**. | ||
|
||
![Enter your start and end locations, and click save.](https://help.expensify.com/assets/images/ExpensifyHelp_ManualDistanceMap.png){:width="100%"} | ||
|
||
Once you click **Save**, review the details from your map selection. | ||
- Select your rate. | ||
- Enter any other applicable coding. | ||
- Click **Save**. | ||
|

# Mileage Tracking FAQs | ||
## **How can I change the rate of my mileage expenses?** | ||
You can change the rate by going to Settings > Workspaces > [Your Workspace] > Expenses > Distance > Add a Mileage Rate. | ||
If you submit mileage expenses on a group workspace, only workspace admins can do this. | ||
|
||
## **Do you plan to add the "Create from Map" option to the mobile app or "Odometer" option to web?** | ||
Not now, but if that changes, you'll be the first to know! | ||
|
||
## **Will you restart maintenance on the mobile app's GPS option anytime soon?** | ||
Not now, but if that changes, you'll be the first to know! | ||
|
||
## **Does Expensify automatically update IRS Mileage rates?** | ||
We never automatically update mileage rates in Expensify because different companies want the new rates to become effective on different dates. |
