Common Questions About the Geotab GO9
What is the Geotab GO9 and how does it work?
The Geotab GO9 is a small device that plugs into a vehicle's OBD-II port and turns it into a live, trackable asset, reporting location, engine health and driving behavior to an online dashboard within minutes. It's the GPS tracker behind millions of fleet vehicles worldwide.
Is the GO9 easy to install ourselves?
Very. It plugs straight into the OBD-II port and sets itself up in minutes, with no wiring, tools or technician, so even large fleets install hundreds of vehicles themselves.
Will the GO9 work on a mix of older and newer vehicles?
Yes. The GO9 reads a wide range of vehicle types, so older trucks and brand-new vans show up together on one dashboard. For very old vehicles, there is a companion model built for legacy systems.
How secure is our fleet data, and who owns it?
Your data is encrypted end to end and protected to FIPS 140-3, a U.S. government security standard. In the Geotab platform it stays yours, with full access, easy export and an open connection to other software whenever you want.
Does the GO9 handle ELD and hours-of-service compliance?
Yes. Paired with the Geotab Drive app, it logs hours of service automatically, meets the FMCSA ELD mandate and handles digital vehicle inspections, with rule sets for U.S. and Canadian regulations.
Can we add dash cameras or sensors later?
Yes. The Geotab GO9 has an expansion port, so you can add dash cameras, driver ID or sensors down the road, without replacing the device.
