Fully automated - Select MagicTrip™ fully automatic tracking. The app will track any movement. Note - you won’t miss any trip, but this will use the most battery power. This is the default setting.
Trips
Semi automated - Select Connect to Bluetooth and Speed over Threshold. Then select which Bluetooth devices to trigger auto start at Setup Bluetooth Devices. Note - you can also associate a bluetooth device to a particular car, and the app will recognize it when it starts tracking.
Truck Drivers
Semi automated - Select Plug in to Power and Speed over Threshold. Note - it’s a nice balance between fully automated and manual, especially if your habit is to plug in your phone before driving.
Locations
Manual - Select Disabled. When using the the app, Trips home screen, select Start Trip at the beginning of the trip and Stop Trip at the end. Note - you may forget to track a trip since it’s not automatic, although, you can manually add a trip if that ever happens.

iOS Getting Started
If you would like to further personalize your mileage tracking, TripLog offers additional Auto Start Settings. For example: 1. Setup MagicTrip. You can choose the app to run GPS more often, thus more responsive and accurate, but at the same time it will use more battery; or less responsive, and less battery use. In general, these settings generate similar results.

2. Timeout. This setting helps drivers when they are in heavy traffic or make frequent stops and don’t want to the app to stop and make a new trip. The default setting is 5 minutes.
iBeacon
3. Speed Threshold. You can set the threshold speed for when using Auto Start. The default is 5 mph or 8 km/h.

4. Business Hours Activities. You can set up your work schedule to have trips automatically classified as Business or Personal, or choose not to record at all. You can always edit the category during or after a trip. 5. Locations. The app stores the locations you have been to for future use. You can add your own locations or name frequently visited locations, so that when the app finds the location you have stored by the latitude/longitude and within its range, it will use the name of that location. You can also set default activity for each location. For example, trips to the “Client” location is always for business.
