Odometer allows to control a vehicle’s mileage in real-time. The mileage readings can be based on the data received from a GPS tracking device or CAN bus. Odometer function is also a part of “Maintenance tasks” which allows you to schedule service works for a vehicle, whereupon the system sends you a reminder at the right time.
