“Manage information about your cars”

If you're a car owner then I'm sure you'll know all about the importance of keeping all the records and information about your vehicle up-to-date.

In my experience though stuff like insurance, maintenance and registration details tend to get scattered around the house or the garage and you can never find this information when you need it. Wouldn't it be great if you could centralize all of the important info about your car and have it close to hand at all times. Well, now you can, thanks to Vehicle Manager for Palm.

The application is designed to help you record all manner of details about your vehicle on your handheld device. It's split into four different categories, represented by tabs at the top of the interface, namely: Details, Insurance, Dealer and Notes. The way this is presented makes it incredibly easy to both view and enter information.

However, the real beauty of the app is the sheer amount of data it can record, including the name of the car, vehicle ID number, insurance policy number along with coverage and renewal date info, repair and maintenance history, and much, much more. You can even use it to track your fuel consumption history. Vehicle Manager could also be very useful for car dealers, as it allows you to record and manage details about multiple vehicles.

This really is a comprehensive digital log book for your car and it covers pretty much every piece of information you'll need in an easy-to-handle manner. It would've been nice to see an option to insert pictures of the car, but I can forgive the developer for that.

If you have a car and a Palm, this is an essential download.

From the publisher of Vehicle Manager

Having dependable, reliable transportation is something we all need. And when it comes to our car, any breakdown will end up throwing us for a loss of time and money. The best way to avoid problems is to stay on top of “simple things” like changing the oil and rotating the tires. That may be easier said than done…until now.

With Vehicle Manager, you can proactively track all this and more in the palm of your hand. It can handle information about one or more cars. Along with helping you keep track of your car’s maintenance schedule, it also does a great job keeping track of vehicle-related expenses (such as fuel, mileage) and insurance data.

Best of all, Vehicle Manager for Palm OS is something you can carry along with you, enabling you to make changes on the fly instead of waiting until you get home (or whenever you remember to do it after you get home).
