Easy Plug-&-Play Installation

It all starts in the vehicle. The Geotab GO8 is a small form-factor vehicle tracking device that simply plugs directly into your vehicle’s OBDII port. If your vehicle or truck does not have an OBDII, an adapter can be used instead. The installation process is quick, easy, and doesn’t require any special tools or the assistance of a professional installer.

Even if your vehicle is parked indoors and underground, Geotab's GPS vehicle tracking and telematics will start recording as soon as you begin driving. You will receive rich, accurate data on ignition, trip distance and time, engine idling, speed and more.

High Quality Recording

Our engine integration leads the industry. The Geotab GO8 extracts more valuable information on the health and running status of your vehicle to make you aware of service maintenance priorities.
