Geotab GO Anywhere Overview

The Geotab GO Anywhere family includes asset-tracking devices designed to provide location and usage visibility for trailers, containers, equipment, machinery, and other valuable powered or non-powered assets.

Legacy GO Anywhere is a battery-powered tracker for general asset monitoring. Next Gen GO Anywhere prioritizes long-term, low-maintenance tracking for high-volume non-powered assets. GO Anywhere Plus combines wired power with a backup battery to provide enhanced information for powered equipment, trailers, and mixed fleets.

Depending on the model, GO Anywhere trackers can monitor trailers, containers, dumpsters, generators, compressors, construction equipment, portable machinery, and other valuable fleet resources.

Next Gen GO Anywhere is designed for fleets that need economical, long-term visibility for large numbers of non-powered assets. Legacy GO Anywhere can also be used for non-powered equipment when configurable reporting is preferred.

GO Anywhere Plus is generally the most suitable option for powered equipment because it can use a wired power connection and collect information such as engine runtime, ignition activity, and inferred distance travelled.

Next Gen GO Anywhere offers the longest target operational life, with up to 10 years from its internal battery. Actual service life can vary depending on environmental conditions, network coverage, reporting frequency, and device use.

In standard reporting mode, Next Gen GO Anywhere provides an automated location update approximately once every hour. This reporting schedule is designed to balance asset visibility with long battery life.

When connected to wired power, GO Anywhere Plus can provide near real-time location information. Its battery-powered reporting can be configured according to the desired balance between tracking frequency and battery life.

High Frequency mode increases the frequency of location reports during important situations, such as suspected theft or unauthorized asset movement. It helps businesses monitor an asset more closely and support faster recovery efforts.

Yes. Location history, movement information, alerts, and accelerated reporting can help a fleet determine where an asset was last detected and monitor its movement. Successful recovery also depends on network availability, device condition, installation, and coordination with law enforcement.

Yes. GO Anywhere devices integrate with MyGeotab, allowing businesses to monitor assets and fleet vehicles through one platform. Users can review locations, activity, reports, and supported alerts without switching between separate tracking systems.

Yes, although the information available depends on the model and installation. Basic devices primarily provide location and movement information, while GO Anywhere Plus can provide enhanced operational data such as engine runtime, ignition status, and inferred mileage.

Yes. GO Anywhere Plus has a hybrid design that allows it to operate using wired power or its internal backup battery. Reporting capabilities and frequency may differ when the device operates only on battery power.

GO Anywhere Plus can store tracking information in its onboard memory while it is offline. When connectivity returns, the device can upload the stored information to help maintain a more complete activity history.

GO Anywhere Plus is designed to support Starlink Direct to Cell connectivity through select carrier partners. Availability depends on the carrier, service area, compatible plan, and deployment requirements.

Yes. The devices are designed for demanding fleet and equipment environments. Legacy GO Anywhere is rated IP68/IP69K, while Next Gen GO Anywhere and GO Anywhere Plus are rated IP67/IP69K for protection against dust and water exposure.

Yes, but the supported temperature range varies by model. Next Gen GO Anywhere is designed to operate from approximately -40°C to 70°C, while GO Anywhere Plus supports temperatures from approximately -40°C to 85°C.

No. The battery-powered models are designed for straightforward installation without a permanent vehicle power connection. GO Anywhere Plus can be secured using screws, bolts, or cable ties, while its powered configuration requires connections for power, ground, and ignition.

Consider whether the asset is powered, how frequently its location must be reported, what operational data you need, how long the device must run on battery power, and where the asset operates. High-volume non-powered fleets may prefer Next Gen GO Anywhere, while fleets needing enhanced information from powered equipment may benefit from GO Anywhere Plus.

Yes. A fleet can use different GO Anywhere models for different asset types while managing them through MyGeotab. This allows the business to apply long-life tracking to non-powered assets and enhanced monitoring to powered or high-value equipment.
