Frequently Asked Questions

Will my data be saved or shared with others?

No. Your data will never be saved or shared.

Will this make any changes to my calendar data?

No. Entering your XML URL provides read-only access. Your event data is never updated or deleted.

What are the browser requirements?

Any modern browser should work. e.g. Firefox 1.5+, Internet Explorer 6+ or Safari. JavaScript must be enabled.

Is the calculated mileage only one-way?

Yes.

Why is the calculated mileage for an event 0?

Google Maps does not recognize your starting or destination address. Make sure you've entered a zip code or city/state with each address. You can use Address Fix to make sure you have the right address.

Who created this, and why?

It was created by an Indianapolis web developer who used Google Calendar heavily to track meetings, but neglected to record his mileage for tax purposes. Sure, it would've taken less time to figure out the mileage than create this tool, but that wouldn't have been any fun.

What technology is powering this?

PHP 5, and the prototype.js JavaScript framework / Ajax library.
