Google Driving Distance

With the Enterprise version (Enhanced Web), you are able to use the Google Maps Driving Distance tool to automatically calculate Trip Mileage or validate over-reported mileage.

When the Apply to the Trips button is selected, the system will apply the Google Distance of the From and To locations to the trip regardless of the recorded Mileage. You can set a threshold of how many units (mi/km) the system will set the "Adjusted" flag. The trips will still be corrected.

Note: the user may not see the adjustment on the app and will have to refer to the web dashboard to see the adjustment

Note: To Disable the process, select the Show "Over Reported Mileage" Column and remove the number in the box.

When the selection for the "Over Reported Mileage" Column is selected, and the Threshold % and at least by are populated, the web will calculate the difference in the recorded mileage and the Google Suggested Driving Distance. If the recorded trip mileage exceeds the threshold by at least the set amount, it will show the total mileage over-reported in the web dashboard.

Navigate to Manage > Policies & Settings > Commute & Distance

Choose and configure your shortest distance rules

Selecting Apply to Trips will update all Trips to the shortest driving distance. The setting is the threshold for when it is disclosed that the trip was adjusted.

Selecting Show "Over Reported Mileage" Column will set the threshold for what trips will be indicated as Over-reported, and will show the shortest distance under the reported distance
