An odometer is a device that measures the distance traveled by a vehicle. It is typically located on the dashboard and displays the number of miles or kilometers that the vehicle has traveled. Odometers are important because they allow drivers to track the distance they have traveled and to estimate how much fuel they have used. They can also be used to calculate the average speed of a vehicle over a period of time.
There are two main types of odometers: mechanical and electronic. Mechanical odometers use a series of gears to measure the distance traveled. Electronic odometers use a sensor to measure the speed of the vehicle and then calculate the distance traveled.
