Since 2020, users have had access to MileageWise's mileage tracking application and its desktop-based dashboard system.
In 2025, the Mileage Log from Google Maps app was introduced by MileageWise, adapting to shifts in how Google Timeline data gets stored.
Starting with RoadRecord back in 2001, the MileageWise group has transitioned from Windows-focused software to interconnected mobile and online platforms for those who drive for work.
Our journey in addressing mileage-log challenges began in 2001. While the technology has evolved numerous times over the last 25 years, our core mission remains unchanged: to simplify mileage documentation for drivers.”— Akos Barazsy, CEO of MileageWise
SARASOTA, FL, UNITED STATES, August 31, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The group responsible for MileageWise is commemorating 25 years of creating mileage-log tools. This effort started with RoadRecord in 2001, at a time when logging mileage was mainly a desktop-based office task.
From that point, the team has transformed its offerings across multiple technology eras. Currently, MileageWise assists drivers in logging current journeys and compiling mileage logs for previous periods using accessible travel information: a blend shaped by many years of addressing genuine user issues.
1. Beginnings: Moving from Windows Software to Mobile and Internet-Based Tools
When the group entered this field in 2001, mileage-tracking apps had not yet been developed. RoadRecord was designed to meet a real requirement: assisting business drivers in arranging their mileage documentation more effectively.
As technological advancements and user behaviors shifted, the product evolved accordingly. By 2013, the team had created mobile apps for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. A web-based online dashboard followed in 2018, providing users with a more adaptable method for reviewing, editing, and finalizing their mileage records.
In 2020, the team applied its expertise to the U.S. market under the MileageWise brand. By 2025, it had also introduced its mileage-log solution based on Google Maps Timeline to mobile platforms.
“We started solving mileage-log problems in 2001.” said Akos Barazsy, founder and CEO of MileageWise. “The technology has changed repeatedly over the past 25 years, but our purpose is the same: make mileage documentation more manageable for drivers.”
2. A Realization: The Shortfall of Continuous Mileage Monitoring
Long-term work with drivers highlighted an issue that continuous mileage tracking alone couldn’t fix. Individuals often put off recording their business trips until tax season, an audit, a reimbursement deadline, or a request from their accountant makes those records critical.
Setting up a mileage tracker can assist moving forward, but it cannot make up for the months or years that have already elapsed. Consequently, the team started looking into how pre-existing travel data could aid drivers in catching up.
3. The Answer: Converting Past Travel Information into Mileage Records
This investigation resulted in MileageWise’s Google Timeline import process. This tool helps users pinpoint car journeys within their location history, arrange their drives, and finish the necessary steps to create a mileage log.
“Many people come to us because the trips have already happened and they need help making sense of the information they still have,” Barazsy said. “Tracking is important, but rescue is just as important.”
For clients who think their mileage data might be gone, finding a workable path forward can offer more than just administrative ease. It can provide comfort during a stressful time.
As the team driving MileageWise moves into its next phase, its focus stays on streamlining mileage documentation, whether drivers begin tracking promptly or require assistance catching up later.
