The PDA of tungsten

The maintenance of an automobile or motorcycle is a complex task. The data of which there are to take the account, besides remembering the scheduled inspections, etc. are many For that reason our Palm becomes our great ally at the time of carrying out these tasks once again.

A program of management of the gratuitous automobile and with an interface taken care of enough is AutoBuddy. Account with the following functionalities:

AutoBuddy allows to register all the information of our car

• Control of the kilometrage crossed and the re-fuellings, with graphs and tables on the same, to be able to see when it can have a problem in the motor, or if our conduction is efficient.
• Management of the guarantees, not to take a surprise to us when we make some change.
• Control of the periodic maintenances, like change of oil or wheels. No longer we will return to think when it was the last time that…?
• Repairs, although at least we must aim better in this section.
• Projects “hágalo same You” for the small hands that they prefer to take to they themselves the maintenance of the car, or to do modifications to him to its pleasure.
• Information of accidents, another section that better to have in target.
• And by all means, we will be able to always take with us all the information on our car for when it can be necessary: matriculation, number of frame, insurance, type of oil, etc.

Another gratuitous program to take the control of our vehicle is MyCar, that in addition counts on a version for PC that synchronizes the data with the one of PDA, although this complement is of payment. It adds with respect to AutoBuddy:

MyCar counts on a complement for PC

• Management of the data of the insurance, analyzable per periods.
• Data of the parkings and the expenses by trips, for which they need to give the expenses to the company.
• Possibility of maintaining the data distributed, besides in several vehicles, several conductors simultaneously.

And for that they own a motorcycle, we counted on ZMoto that, although centered in these vehicles, is similar to the previous ones: to maintain a registry of the maintenances, to create alert to remember the programmed ones, to separate the data by trip, including consumptions, possibility of exporting the data in the PC, etc.

Taking by account the repairs of our motorcycle

Other similar programs like Car Info, Car Tracker and Auto Mechanics exist, the three based on ThinkDB, or the classic programs to remember the place of the parking of the commercial center in which we have left the car, like MyCar.

Finally, commercial programs for these tasks exist, like the classic TealAuto, or TripBoss, analyzed in PalManiac, that allows to take retail the expenses of each trip.

TripBoss allows to take account of all the expenses of the trip

As we see the options are multiple, and without a doubt useful to take to the day the control of the state of our vehicle, and the expenses that this one entails.
