Now I am thinking of much better uses for this information. It automatically captured the location, and all I really needed was purchase price and gallons anyway.īy clicking the “Show Details” or “Hide Details” in the upper right you can see additional info, and by clicking the Map Icon or city name above the pic, you can view a Google map of exactly where you were. All I needed to do is take a pic of the gas pump. I did not need to go in and ask for a receipt. In Missoula the machine was out of paper. This also solves some additional problems. At each stop, I also put in the milage in the car. Notice that if I don’t put in a title when I click “New Note” it GeoTags my picture! Now I have a running record of my location by date! Love it. So I did that on our most recent trip to MT. I use OneNote.īut, I had a recently thought to myself, “What if I took a picture of the receipts as I traveled?” That would mean I don’t have to keep them. When I first heard of Evernote, I was not that interested.

If I didn’t take good records, how would I know that! See, it is important!Įnter Evernote. For instance, in our 11 year old car, that now has over 100000 miles we are still getting over 33 miles per gallon on the freeway. My wife said this was not necessary, but to me, those little details hid some nice surprises. I like to keep good records of our vacations. Dining out? Who was there? Where was the restaurant? What city? Hotels? They give a full page receipt, not a little strip like gas stations.

Driving to Montana? Great, that means 7 gas receipts, organized by location, along with the mileage at every gas stop. I absolutely have to save every single receipt from vacation, reconcile with Quicken within 10 hours of arriving home on vacation, and that reconciliation must be to the penny. First off, I am a math teacher, so I think it goes without saying I am incredibly … detail oriented … anal … and, possibly, a pain in the butt (depending on when you ask my wife.)
