Hi,

What would be the diffrence between a Distance Meter and an Odometer  (see ProductEntityLabels.xml) ? It seems the same to me.
BTW maybe we need a Trip Meter (or Trip Odometer) ?

Thanks

The difference is you could have multiple distance meters, including  
an odometer and/or a trip meter.

Thanks David,

So I think I will add a trip meter, could be useful.
There is also the podometer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedometer not sure it coumd be useful in OFBiz tough.
Maybe what we need more is a Tachograph http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachograph
And even Taximeter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taximeter
And why not Event data recorder http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_data_recorder
