Hi there, 

here are step-by-step instructions on how to set up a taxi meter app 

 

1. Install the Taxi Meter App

Open the Google Play Store on your Android device.

In the search bar at the top, type "Taxi Meter" or the name of the specific taxi meter app you're looking for.

Tap the app from the search results to open its detail page.

Click the Install button to download and install the app on your device.

 

 

2. Open the Taxi Meter App

Once installed, open the app by tapping Open on the app page in the Play Store or find the app icon on your home screen or app drawer and tap it.

 

 

3. Set Up Your Account

Most taxi meter apps will require you to set up an account. This could involve:

Entering your phone number.

Verifying your phone number with a code sent via SMS.

Providing additional details such as your name, email address, and vehicle details.

 

 

4. Configure App Settings

Once you are logged in, navigate to the Settings or Configuration section within the app. Here you can configure important settings such as:

Currency: Set the currency in which you want to charge your fares.

Rates and Fares: Enter your rates for base fare, distance (per mile/km), waiting time, and any additional surcharges (e.g., for night-time or peak hours).

Vehicle Type: Select your vehicle type, which may affect the fare rates.

Payment Methods: Set up payment options you accept, such as cash, credit/debit cards, or digital wallets.

 

 

5. Calibrate the GPS

Make sure the GPS on your device is enabled and calibrated for accurate distance tracking.

The app may ask for permission to access your location. Allow this for proper functionality.

Some apps have a calibration feature to ensure the GPS accuracy is high for correct fare calculations.

 

 

6. Test the Taxi Meter Functionality

Run a test trip to ensure the taxi meter app is working correctly.

Check if the meter starts correctly when you begin the trip and if it calculates the fare according to the settings you configured.

Verify that the fare updates with distance traveled and time spent waiting.

 

 

7. Use the App During Rides

At the beginning of a ride, start the meter by pressing the designated Start button within the app.

At the end of the ride, stop the meter by pressing the Stop button. The app will display the total fare, including any applicable surcharges.

If needed, you can add any additional charges or provide discounts before finalizing the fare.

 

 

8. Manage Trips and Invoices

Most taxi meter apps come with a feature to manage your trip history and generate invoices.

You can access your trip logs, review fares, and export trip details for your records or for accounting purposes.

 

 

9. Update and Maintain the App

Regularly check for updates to the app in the Google Play Store to ensure you have the latest features and security patches.

Follow the developer's recommendations for any app maintenance or updates.

 

 

10. Support and Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while setting up or using the app, refer to the Help or Support section within the app.

You can also check the app’s page on the Google Play Store for FAQs, contact support, or read user reviews for common solutions.
