Read full descriptionHide full description
Taxometer helps you independently estimate a ride cost, plan a route and keep trip records. Compare an approximate estimate with the amount charged by a carrier, or record an agreed price. Choose a local tariff or create your own. GPS tracking estimates distance, duration and cost during a trip, including while the screen is locked. FEATURES - City search and saved zone boundaries for route estimates - Draw and edit boundaries on a map; GeoJSON import and export - Share and import complete tariff sets, including boundaries, by file or JSON - Estimate details by tariff and zone; time and zone reminders during a ride - Route planning with editable pickup, destination and stops - Local and zone-based tariffs, custom rates and minimum fare - Day/night tariff selection and tariff switching during a trip - GPS trip tracking, including background location during an active trip - Agreed-price records, discounts and tips - Trip history, statistics and non-fiscal receipt PDFs - Optional Google Drive receipt storage and receipt QR/link sharing - Optional card-payment handoff to the separate SumUp merchant app - Ukrainian, Polish and English; light, dark and system appearance PRIVACY AND PAYMENTS Core features do not require a developer account. Records are local by default. Online maps, address lookup and routing send requests to their providers. Connecting your own Google Drive enables automatic receipt PDF uploads, which you can disable. Files are private by default; creating a receipt QR/link makes that file accessible to anyone with the link. SumUp handles card details and payment authorisation in its own app and requires an eligible merchant setup. IMPORTANT Calculations are approximate and depend on GPS, route data and tariff settings. Taxometer is not a certified taximeter, fiscal cash register or official fare-measuring instrument. Receipts are non-fiscal informational documents. SumUp integration does not authorise passenger transport or establish fiscal/legal compliance. Professional use is allowed only where applicable local law permits this auxiliary software and the user holds all required licences, permissions, insurance and equipment.
