Optimizing Recommended Settings for Phone and Tablet Devices

Recommended Settings

Before using Drive to capture mileage, we recommend configuring some settings on your iOS and Android devices (phones and tablets). These settings need to be set up only once, and you won't have to adjust them again unless there are changes to the service or your device requirements.

Follow these guideline to ensure your device is ready to seamlessly use Drive to capture mileage.

  • Location - ON
  • SIM Service - ON
  • Mobile Internet - ON
  • WiFi Service - ON

Note

For iOS only: Motion - ON.

Turn the Motion on to improve the accuracy of mileage captured. By doing this, Drive will ignore activities such as running or walking.
