How does DCI calculate my mileage?

Mileage is calculated for mileage-based punches (client transportation and drive) created via the mobile app
- The Drive button in the mobile app is associated with the account type called Mileage in the web portal and mobile web
DCI uses the addresses from the start and end locations in conjunction with Google Maps to find the quickest route between the two points
- When creating punches via the mobile app, the map will show two pins:
- - Green Pin = Start Location
  - Red Pin = End Location
This creates a route that records the miles as the Estimated Miles and the Actual Amount for the punch.
The Estimated Miles and Actual Amount listed on the punch may be different from the user's odometer reading if the quickest route was not the path driven
When entering punches for Client Transportation and Drive, use point-to-point trips. Do not enter round-trip punches because the system will calculate the punch as zero miles since the start and end addresses are the same.
Optionally verify the mileage by entering the start and end address into Google Maps and selecting the quickest route
The quickest route may not always be the shortest route (least amount of miles), as Google Maps takes traffic, construction, accidents, etc. into account.

When entering a mileage-based punch (client transportation or mileage) via the web portal or mobile web, enter the starting and ending odometer readings into the Add New Entry form wizard.
DCI calculates the difference between the starting and ending odometer readings to calculate the mileage amount
