When you use MileageTracker for the first time, you may see a red notification banner at the top of the screen. This indicates that the MileageTracker feature is not yet enabled on your device.

To enable the auto-tracker, tap the red banner at the top of the screen or go to Settings to adjust the permissions manually.

Once enabled, you will see a confirmation message indicating that the MileageTracker is active. From this point forward, it will track your location and mileage automatically.
