This is a major upgrade that includes support for iOS 13
The GPS AutoLog feature has been upgraded with upgraded tracking and server backup logic. We have 2 new modes for accurately tracking your trips:
Flexible schedule capture - for drivers that don't have a set schedule, you can use this mode that only begins trip tracking when you turn it on, let the phone determine your trip stops, and then it stops when you turn it off.
Single Trip GPS capture - now you have the ability to set the start and stop points manually and get the most accurate GPS trips. Best if your schedule is very unpredictable and you only want occasional tracking.
These two modes supplement the current "set and forget" Fixed Schedule tracking mode, but now you have additional options that may work better for your situation. Please remember to always set the phone to give the app "always" permission to access location services for these modes to work accurately.
Reimbursement for Canadian drivers with cents/km programs is now available
A lot of small enhancements and fixes are also in this release, such as a new welcome tour and improved ways for you to send feedback to us. Thank you for using our app and we hope it has saved you time!

2019-02-26
Maintenance History - a new tab within the maintenance feature. This shows your history of maintenance services for your vehicle plus an indicator if the service was done within the Wheels maintenance network.
Timeline History - a new feature that lets you see your history of vehicle services (maintenance, fuel, registration, and mileage entry) intertwined with your mobile interaction history. This is also where you can see your count of using the app's "Timesaver" functions, features which have saved you time.
Improved education on GPS permissions - better explanations of why the app runs best with the "always" permission setting for location services, especially if you are using the GPS AutoLog which needs that in order to correctly detect your starts and stops.
Fixed some AutoLog scenarios that created some interesting trip tracking results - we fixed the logic that screens out airline flights, so you should not see 1000 mile trips when you fly anymore! The threshold is now 45 meters per second, equivalent to 100 mpg so if you're using this to benchmark hot laps on a track, the app won't consider that a business trip! We're continuing to improve this, thanks for your support!
For drivers who have vehicles they are responsible for, but not necessarily assigned to, you can now see these vehicles from a new menu item.

New feature: Badges! Positive feedback on the excellent job you are doing as a driver and as a power user of the Wheels Mobile Assistant! This first series of badges recognizes users who have used advanced features in the app, and the app will award badges for "streaks" of excellent driving. How do you earn these badges? For example, two easy ones that can be quickly earned: activate the GPS AutoLog to build your automatic Daily Trip Log, and find your electronic insurance card in the glovebox (so you're ready when you need it). Some of the badges are dependent on services Wheels provides to your fleet so all might not be available for you.
For drivers on Mileage Entry: The certification/compliance questions have been updated - it is recommended that you review the questions to affirm your answers are still appropriate. The updated legal language is informing you that you are required by law to keep track of your business driving with a documented log (which the app's Daily Trip Log can help you with). Drivers in Canada, there is a new tool tip designed to help clarify a new optional calculation method.

- Improved Vendor Search: We have upgraded the maintenance vendor search feature - you can now issue new searches by navigating around the map and click "search this area" - very useful if you want to find shops in cities you will be going to later. You also can search for vendors in the Wheels maintenance network by name if there is the specific shop you are looking for.
- A Major Roadside Assistance Upgrade for US vehicles beyond their manufacturer's warranty period: For drivers on the Wheels maintenance program, you have a new capability to summon roadside assistance via guided forms, and track the incoming rescue vehicle on a map in the app! These roadside rescue vehicles are competing based on who can get to you the fastest, and the dispatch process is initiated even while you are starting the request process, shaving minutes from your rescue. This improved roadside support process can reduce your wait time by up to 30% compared to traditional roadside assistance! We built this because your time is valuable and the app is designed for your productivity.
- Take Vehicle Photos: We have added the ability for you to take a photos of your vehicle - this replaces current processes where your company fleet manager may request that you send in pictures via email. You can provide notes, such as if you needed to document damage. You can access all the photos you have taken through a new Photo Gallery. Stay tuned - this feature is going to add in some amazing enhancements in the next few months where we augment this with artificial intelligence to smartly tag your photos and tailor your experience.
- Reimbursement Tools: For drivers on the Wheels Reimbursement program, the TripLog and GPS AutoLog are now available. Trips documented here can be directly submitted for reimbursement. You won't need to use the spreadsheet method anymore! With this capability, you allow your phone to capture your business driving during set hours, and you can augment the default trip descriptions with notes and business reasons for your trips. You can also track your reimbursements and see statements for previous months. You can also export your log history into a spreadsheet you can keep and archive, fulfilling your government regulatory requirements.

2018-06-25
This is our biggest release since the app's launch! We have 3 new major features....
- Electronic Insurance Cards: Valid in 48 states and Puerto Rico (only basic policy info is shown if you live in NY or NV), and all states plus Canada can request that Wheels mail a paper copy of their insurance cards. We still recommend keeping a paper copy in your glovebox in the event a local jurisdiction doesn't accept the electronic card – just send the new print-friendly version to your printer from the app. Now it’s even easier to have your card handy at all times!
- Proactive Vehicle Delivery Confirmation: Help confirm when you picked up your new vehicle so Wheels and your company can provide any support you need! Just put in a date once you pick up your new vehicle, and the app takes care of it from there!
- Daily Trip Log with our powerful “GPS AutoLog” automatic logging feature: It’s perfect for company vehicle drivers that submit mileage records. Track miles or kilometers automatically to the rules you set for your business driving capture. No driving routes are captured, just the key details needed for government compliance. Goodbye, paper trip logs! The time to manage your trip logs and driver tax compliance miles/kilometer entry responsibilities just dropped from about 1 hour per month to 45 seconds per month – and it’s even boosted with automatic IRS/CRA compliant documentation! Take a moment to watch the 60 second overview video within the app to learn more! This is an opt-in feature that you can always turn on or off. Users of the Wheels Reimbursement Program will have this feature soon!
