MileIQ's Frequent Drives: Simplifying Auto-Classification
MileIQ makes it effortless to classify your drives with the Frequent Drives feature. Once you classify a route a few times, MileIQ automatically detects similar drives and offers to auto-classify them. You'll receive notifications in the app when a drive is auto-classified, and you can edit or review these details anytime via the web dashboard.
Key Topics:
Setting Up Frequent Drives
-
Frequent Drive Suggestions
After you classify a drive the same way twice, a hint appears at the bottom of the drive card, showing the classification and its potential to become a Frequent Drive. -
Confirmation Prompt
On the third classification, you'll see a prompt asking if you'd like to auto-classify this route in the future.- To include similar unclassified drives, keep the "Include # unclassified drives" box checked.
- Leaving this box unchecked means past drives won’t be auto-classified, and you'll need to classify them manually.
-
Enabling Auto-Classification
Tap "Yes, Auto-Classify" to confirm. A success message will appear at the bottom of your screen.- Selecting "Not Now" delays the prompt until you classify three more similar drives.
- To disable these prompts entirely, see instructions below.
