High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An odometer (mileometer, milometer) indicates distance traveled by a car or other vehicle. The device may be electronic, mechanical, or a combination of the two. The word derives from the Greek words hodos, meaning "path" or gateway and "metron", "measure". In the early autos a top reading of 99,999 was enough. With improvements, modern vehicles need an extra digit. At the top reading, an odometer restarts from zero (odometer rollover). Most modern cars include a trip meter (trip odometer). Unlike the odometer, a trip meter is reset at any point in a journey, making it possible to record the distance travelled in any particular journey or part of a journey. It was traditionally a purely mechanical device but, in most modern vehicles, it is now electronic.
