Abstract
A system and method for documenting a travel event and designating the travel event as business or personal. A portable computing device configured to obtain location and time is used for querying a user when location changes to determine if the travel event is personal or business related. The portable computing device saves the selection and records the location during the travel event. When the location no longer changes for a configurable time, the traveler is asked to confirm that the travel event has completed. The destination location is then saved. Optionally, the traveler may save picture, video, audio, map data at the point of departure, during the travel event or at travel completion. The additional information may be used as evidence that the travel event took place and when and where it took place. The information saved may be integrated with external programs such as a spreadsheet or word processor.
