**Summary:** Automatic recording of exact date and time at each route point.

- A time stamp is the automatic recording of date and time at each GPS point, receipt, or event.
- On mileage receipts three time stamps matter: trip start, trip end, and PDF generation.
- Strong evidence of contemporaneousness in audits — a receipt generated within hours of the trip is more reliable than reconstruction weeks later.
