How Do I Edit An Incorrect Odometer Entry?

What to do when you record the wrong odometer value in a logbook entry

Updated today

Diesel and heavy vehicles (over 3.5 tonnes) are legally required to record odometer readings. For all other vehicles, it is optional. The app does not enforce this β€” use the Odometer toggle on your vehicle to have the app prompt for odometer during entries. See Recording Vehicle Distance for details.

If Your Shift Is Still Open

You can correct an odometer entry at any time before locking your shift:

  1. Tap the Logbook icon in the bottom navigation bar

  2. Long-press on the entry with the incorrect odometer value

  3. Tap the Odometer field and enter the correct value

  4. Tap Save

If your shift has ended but is not yet locked, you can still edit via the Review page using the same steps.

Note: If odometer is set to required on your vehicle, values must increase with each entry. If you need to enter a value lower than a previous entry, you'll need to correct the earlier entry first.

If Your Shift Is Already Locked

Once locked, entries cannot be edited. However, you can correct the odometer for your next shift:

  1. Tap the Vehicles icon in the bottom navigation bar

  2. Tap the vehicle with the incorrect reading

  3. Edit the odometer value to the correct distance

  4. Tap Save

You can also do this through your Logmate Admins under Vehicles.

Your next shift will start with the corrected odometer value.

Note: If you don't notice the error until after locking, add a comment on your next shift explaining the discrepancy.
