Which places count, and the distance there

Places

With the full Passbook: every country, and every state, province, prefecture, nation or region you’ve logged an entry in. Each has:

• Its flag, the first entry there and how many entries.
• The fuel bought and spent there, and how many brands (and charging networks): a brand once, however many of its stations.
• The distance driven there, where two placed odometer readings of one car in a row are both in it (one with no place is passed over, and a trip counts where it ended).

A place that is its country alone counts each stretch once; “mi here” counts only the stretches between two entries in a row in the same place (an entry with no place is passed over), so it can be less than you drove there, or more when entries elsewhere have no place.

Counted as the Dash’s welcomes count them: one country and one kind at a time (7 US states · 2 Canadian provinces · 3 countries).

The United Kingdom is one country with its nations; Jersey and other territories count as no country. An entry in Crimea, Sevastopol or the Liancourt Rocks (Dokdo / Takeshima) counts under no country; its stop is a dot in no country’s shape.

Every vehicle counts, rentals and borrowed cars too. An entry needs a place: an address or a spot.

The Schengen area

The 29 countries with normally no checks at their borders with each other: the EU’s but Ireland and Cyprus, with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Croatia counts from Jan 1, 2023, Bulgaria and Romania from Jan 1, 2025. Only their European land counts: French Guiana, Réunion, Svalbard, the Faroes and Greenland are outside.

Places says how many of its countries you have an entry in, Highlights your days there (an entry, or a tracked drive through it), and Miles by place the miles driven in it. A crossing in Europe says which side it went to.

A page for each place

Tap a country, a state or province, a UK nation, or the European Union or Schengen area row in Places for its own page, as a station has one. A place unlocks with your first entry there.

• Since when, the days with an entry, and what the entries were.
• The miles driven there, and what automatic tracking measured there.
• What you bought and spent, the average price, the stations, towns, time zones and vehicles.
• A country’s states or nations, or a group’s countries, each with its page; and every entry, newest first.

Each time zone has a page too: tap its bar in Stats → Places. It shows the time there now, against your phone, and everything logged on that clock.

Stats → Places, the Passbook’s Highlights and each time zone’s page also count the miles and the time on the road on each clock. A drive tracked by GPS is split where it crossed a time zone line; any other trip counts in the zone it was in, from its start time to its end time. Time is real time, so the hour the clocks go back counts once.

Each entry keeps its UTC offset beside its time zone, and its ticket says both: “1:40 AM CST (UTC−6)”. In the hour the clocks go back, the two 1:30s read apart, in your CSVs and backups too.

The time zone lines are drawn to within 10 m from timezone-boundary-builder’s latest release, looked for each day, so the clock changes where you cross the line.

From November 1, 2026, British Columbia stays on UTC−7, Alberta and the Northwest Territories on UTC−6 and Manitoba on UTC−5, all year. MileWorks keeps those times even when your phone’s own time zone data hasn’t caught up yet.
