Automatic Mileage Tracking with ‘Tour’

Facebook-Ad-Launch-2Besides developing the offline apps for timr, we’ve also taken GPS recording in mileage log to a new level with Tour. Since 2011, the timr iPhone app has included a function for using GPS to determine distance driven. As well as developing the offline apps for timr, we’ve also taken GPS tracking in the mileage log to a new level with Tour.

One example: once you’ve started GPS tracking, timr records every journey. A quick trip in the passenger seat with your colleague at lunchtime and the recording is already skewed. You have no way of deleting this recorded journey afterwards. We realised that it’s necessary to get every single journey for each day separated.

In 2012, we started combining all our leanings and started to conceive an app that completely redefined the mileage log. We developed Tour and today we are introducing this app to you.

Tour is an automatic mileage log for the iPhone and an additional app to keep your mileage log with timr. Tour records your journeys automatically on the go and then transfers these journeys into your timr account. Please note: This integration is not yet available. It will be completed in the next few weeks.

The offline app for the iPhone no longer has a function for using GPS to record distance travelled. We made the conscious decision to transfer this function over to a separate app. Tour will be the new app to track your mileage automatically.

Of course, position tracking in all apps still works the way it did before, including the address resolution for routes in the mileage log.

Tour is now available as a free app in the App Store, download it today. You can already start tracking your journeys with Tour.

Tour on Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry?
Unfortunately, Tour is only available for iPhone at the moment. We did a lot of try & error during the development of Tour. It’s just not possible to do this for multiple platforms at once. We’re looking forward to your feedback for our future decisions regarding other platforms.

!NEWS! We’re really happy that Tour is currently featured by Apple in the App Stores of Germany, Austria, Swiss and that Tour is already ranked #1 of the Top Free Business Apps in Germany.
