**Summary:** Smartphone software that captures coordinates and route in real time for trip logging.

- GPS apps (Google Maps, Waze) can act as the primary source of distance for mileage receipts.
- When you start navigation, the app records the actual path and travel time.
- Mileage-specific apps (like Quilometragem in embedded mode) capture origin, destination, distance, and average speed automatically and generate the receipt without manual typing.
