A system and method for monitoring and recording the number of miles that a vehicle has traveled within each of a set of geographic entities. A vehicle position determination system is installed on-board the vehicle for generating a present vehicle location point. A memory is provided for storing for each of the entities a set of ordered coordinate data points representing the boundary of the entity. A processor is coupled with the position determination system and the memory for comparing the present vehicle location point to the boundary coordinate data points of an entity, including generating a ray emanating from the location point and determining if said ray crosses the boundary of the entity an even or odd number of times.
