tripmeter
Resettable distance tracker
A tripmeter is a device in a vehicle that measures the distance traveled on a particular journey, as opposed to the odometer, which tracks total mileage over the vehicle's lifetime.
Drivers reset the tripmeter to zero at the start of a trip to track specific distances—useful for calculating fuel economy or measuring routes.
I reset the tripmeter when we left home to see how far we'd driven.
