The proven workhorse
A plug-in device that streams location, trips, driving behavior, and engine health into MyGeotab.
What it does
A generic tracker reports position. The GO9 plugs into the diagnostic port and reads the vehicle itself.
Every vehicle on one map, with trip history you can replay and verify.
VIN, odometer, engine faults, and seat belt status come straight off the engine network.
Speeding, harsh braking, hard acceleration, and cornering, measured from the moment it is plugged in.
Zone entry and exit, speeding, and after-hours movement raise a rule-based alert in MyGeotab, so you act on the exception instead of watching the map.
Over-the-air provisioning and firmware updates for the device, GPS, and select LTE modems.
Built To Disappear
Sealed electronics on the OBD-II port, installed in minutes and auto-calibrated to the vehicle.
A closer look
A plug-in that reads the vehicle itself, not just its position.
GPS and cellular live inside the housing; the install is the port, nothing else.
Plug it into the OBD-II port and listen for the confirmation beeps: you will know it is live before you pull out of the yard. No installer, no appointment.
A sealed housing built to take the heat for years down in the port.
Collision detection triggers an automatic upload of detailed event data.
Add cameras, Driver ID, HOS, or satellite later and the tracker you plugged in never has to come back out.
Both motion sensors set their own orientation, so a bumped or re-plugged device keeps reading true.
Reports into the same MyGeotab as the rest of your fleet.
The specifics
A 32-bit processor with increased memory and RAM drives high-fidelity data capture.
Accelerometer and gyroscope calibrate themselves in any mounting orientation. No calibration visit, no angle to get right.
Installs on the diagnostic port in minutes, with no wiring, no antennas, and no shop visit to schedule.
Because it reads the engine bus, a fault code reaches MyGeotab the moment it trips, so maintenance sees the problem before the driver has to mention it.
Adds Driver ID, HOS, temperature monitoring, GO Focus cameras, and satellite connectivity later, without replacing the device.
Flame-retardant black ABS housing, engineered for years of service in the diagnostic port.
Built for mixed fleets
Cars, pickups, box trucks, semis, and buses: the GO9 was built to speak to all of them.
Light duty to heavy duty, one device family and one platform, so your reports read the same across the fleet.
A pre-2010s truck reports the same location, faults, and driver data as the newest van in the yard.
Many 16-pin vehicles plug straight in. Where a harness is needed, we source the correct Geotab-approved one for the make, model, and year.
Live in MyGeotab
Position, speed, and status refresh as the fleet moves.
GO9 or Next-Gen GO10
Your fleet runs older vehicles. The GO9 keeps the legacy engine protocols the GO10 drops, the proven standard for pre-2010s and mixed-age fleets.
You run newer vehicles or cross-border routes, or want remote commands and Bluetooth small-tool relay. See the Next-Gen GO10 page.
Either way, both report into the same MyGeotab. Read the full GO9 vs GO10 comparison, or send us your vehicle list and we will split it honestly: GO9 where the old protocols matter, GO10 where they do not.
Trip By Trip
Start, stop, distance, and idle time, logged automatically for every vehicle on a GO9.
Questions
Yes, on a wide range of light and heavy-duty vehicles, and it is our recommendation for older units that still speak legacy engine protocols. Most 16-pin vehicles plug straight in, and where a harness is needed we match the correct Geotab-approved one for you.
Minutes. Plug it into the diagnostic port, listen for the confirmation beeps, and the vehicle appears in your database. Call us after plugging in and we confirm communication on the spot.
The GO9 detects the collision and automatically uploads detailed data for forensic reconstruction: what the vehicle was doing before, during, and after. Pair it with a GO Focus camera and you get the video to match.
Yes. The IOX expansion port adds GO Focus cameras, Driver ID, HOS, temperature monitoring, and satellite connectivity without replacing the tracker you already installed.
