For tracking mileage, is there a way to set a default start location? My trips always start from the same location which is the address of my business.

Hi dale_216,

Welcome to the Community. QuickBooks offers a versatile mileage tracking feature that helps you keep track of your whereabouts. I'll be happy to share more info so you're on the right track. 

In order for mileage to be tracked you'd have to turn on the location on your phone. Here's how to do this on an iPhone:

1. Open the QuickBooks mobile app.
2. Select the menu ☰ icon.
3. Select All.
4. Select Mileage.
5. Select Auto-track your mileage.
6. Follow Allow location access on-screen instructions.

Here's another for Android: 

1. Open the QuickBooks mobile app.
2. Select the menu ☰ icon.
3. Select Mileage.
4. Turn on the Auto-tracking switch.
5. Give QuickBooks permission to track your location. This will vary depending on your Android Operating System.
   • For Android OS version 10 and below:
     • For location permissions, select Allow. If prompted, select Allow all the time.
     • If you are prompted to allow access to your physical activity, select Allow.
   • For Android OS version 11 and above:
     • For location permissions select While using the app, then select Ok (if prompted). Then select Allow all the time.
     • If you are prompted to allow access to your physical activity, select Allow.

Here's a helpful article that shows you how to: Automatically track mileage in QuickBooks Online. 

Let me know if you have other questions. I'm here to steer you in the right direction. 

Sorry, I am not using the tracker.   I simply want to have a default address for when I am entering my trips manually on my PC.  Can't QBO recognize that my starting address is always the same and set it as a default?  Home address can be set in google maps, why not QBO?  I start typing my address and I am getting locations from all over the world with the same numbers in my address.  

The ability to set a default address isn't available in QuickBooks. The starting address is based on the location of your mobile. I can see the benefit of having this function and I encourage you to send feedback to our engineers. To do this, click on the Gear icon and look for Feedback. In the meantime, feel free to ask other questions.
