The GPS receipt shows a map of your actual route driven, along with the total distance and calculated reimbursement amount. It looks similar to a map-based distance receipt, but reflects the path you actually took rather than a suggested route. If you paused and resumed during the trip, the receipt shows each segment separately with its own start and stop waypoints.

## Can I edit a GPS trip after I stop tracking?
Comment thread
stephanieelliott marked this conversation as resolved.

Yes. After you tap **Stop**, tap the pencil **Edit** icon next to the distance counter to open the **Edit stop** screen. Drag the slider to move the end point back to an earlier stop along your recorded route — the map route and the **Total distance** value update live as you drag — then tap **Save**. The GPS screen then shows the trimmed distance and updated end address. To restore the full trip, open **Edit stop** again and drag the slider all the way to the right. Tapping **Resume** and **Stop** also resets any trim and shows the full trip again.

## Can I use GPS tracking on web or desktop?

No. GPS tracking requires the iOS or Android mobile app because it uses your device's location services. On web or desktop, you'll see a prompt to download the mobile app when selecting GPS. You can still use map-based or manual distance entry on any platform.
