Claim Text:
1. A base unit installed in a vehicle comprising: a vehicle communication module for communicating with a controller, the controller monitoring a vehicle speed of the vehicle to generate vehicle speed information, a transceiver; a processor configured to receive the vehicle speed information from the vehicle communication module and process the vehicle speed information to detect an event, wherein the event is used for driver compliance logging, and wherein the processor is configured to calculate a relative odometer reading based on the vehicle speed information obtained from the vehicle communication module on the base unit; wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit the event to at least one external device, wherein the external device is configured to generate a graphical user interface that allows a user to input an absolute odometer offset value, and wherein the processor uses the absolute odometer offset value to calculate an absolute odometer reading based, at least in part, on the vehicle speed information obtained the base unit and the absolute odometer offset value; and wherein the base unit is configured to operate in a sleep mode when an ignition state of the vehicle is off and operate in a fully operational mode when the ignition state of the vehicle is on.
