SimpleGPS vs the Excel spreadsheet
Our biggest "competitor" is not another GPS company - it is the Excel sheet, the mileage notebook and the "where are you now?" phone call. It is free, it is familiar... and it eats hours every week, with data only as accurate as the driver filling it in.
SimpleGPS does the same automatically: every departure and stop records itself, kilometres come from GPS, waybills generate in one click, and you see where the car is on a map - not over the phone.

When is Excel / тетрадка the better choice?
If you have one car and you are the only driver, a notebook does the job. But the moment you track a second driver, report mileage to your accountant, or simply get tired of asking "where are you" - automation pays for itself in the first month.
Bottom line
Excel is free, but your time is not. SimpleGPS writes the trip logs for you.
