How often does Next Gen GO Anywhere report its location?

Next Gen GO Anywhere provides standard hourly location reports. A High Frequency mode can support faster reporting when an asset requires closer monitoring.

Can the GO Anywhere trackers withstand harsh conditions?

Yes. The GO Anywhere models feature rugged, weather-resistant enclosures. Their exact protection ratings vary by model, so businesses should compare the specifications for their operating environment.

Can all three GO Anywhere models be monitored in MyGeotab?

Yes. The trackers integrate with MyGeotab, allowing businesses to monitor compatible assets alongside fleet vehicles from one platform.

Can a business use different GO Anywhere models across its fleet?
