- An instrument which measures and registers the number of kilometers or miles a

instrument housing along with the speedometer for measuring and registering the
miles and tenths of a mile (or kilometers and tenths of a kilometer) that the
vehicle is driven. Some cars and Motorcycles also
have an additional Trip odometer that can be
reset to zero for conveniently measuring the miles or kilometers driven during
trips or between fuel fillups.
