Frequently asked questions
What is Geotab Next Gen GO Anywhere?
Geotab Next Gen GO Anywhere is a battery-powered tracking device designed for long-term monitoring of non-powered assets. It provides automated hourly location reports and integrates directly with the MyGeotab fleet management platform.
What types of assets can Next Gen GO Anywhere track?
Next Gen GO Anywhere is intended for non-powered assets such as trailers, containers, dumpsters, roll-offs, portable equipment, and other assets without a reliable electrical power source.
Is Next Gen GO Anywhere the same as the older GO Anywhere?
No. Next Gen GO Anywhere is Geotab’s newly introduced asset tracker for high-volume deployments. It offers a long-life internal battery, configuration-free installation, hourly location reporting, High Frequency mode, updated environmental protection, and a simplified user experience.
How is Next Gen GO Anywhere different from GO Anywhere Plus?
Next Gen GO Anywhere is optimized for scalable, long-term tracking of non-powered assets. It provides hourly location updates and has a target operational life of up to 10 years. GO Anywhere Plus is designed for powered or higher-value assets that may require more frequent reporting, wired-power support, or additional operating information such as ignition status and engine hours.
How long does the Next Gen GO Anywhere battery last?
The internal battery is designed to provide a target operational life of up to 10 years. Actual battery performance may vary based on usage, network conditions, reporting activity, temperature, and other operating factors.
How often does Next Gen GO Anywhere report its location?
Under standard operation, Next Gen GO Anywhere automatically reports its location every hour. This provides consistent asset visibility without requiring employees to perform manual checks.
Does Next Gen GO Anywhere offer real-time tracking?
Standard operation is based on hourly location reporting rather than continuous real-time tracking. High Frequency mode provides accelerated updates when more frequent reporting is needed during a critical event.
What is High Frequency mode?
High Frequency mode increases the device’s reporting frequency during urgent situations such as suspected theft. More frequent updates can help businesses monitor an asset’s location and respond more quickly.
Does Next Gen GO Anywhere require professional installation?
The tracker is designed for quick installation without wiring or complicated configuration. However, its mounting location should be chosen carefully to protect the device and maintain reliable communication.
Does the tracker need to be wired to the asset?
No. Next Gen GO Anywhere operates using its own internal battery and does not need to connect to the asset’s electrical system. This makes it particularly useful for trailers and equipment without a consistent source of power.
Does Next Gen GO Anywhere require configuration before installation?
The device supports zero-touch deployment with a configuration-free setup. This allows businesses to install and activate large numbers of trackers with minimal effort.
How durable is Next Gen GO Anywhere?
Next Gen GO Anywhere features a rugged IP67/IP69K-rated enclosure. It is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions and has been tested against SAE J1455 standards for demanding transportation and equipment environments.
What do the IP67 and IP69K ratings mean?
IP67 indicates protection against dust and temporary water immersion under specified test conditions. IP69K indicates resistance to high-pressure, high-temperature water spray. These ratings support use in challenging outdoor and transportation environments.
What do the LED and onboard button do?
The tri-colour LED provides visual feedback about the device’s status. Together with the onboard button, it helps installers confirm operation and perform basic troubleshooting.
Does Next Gen GO Anywhere integrate with MyGeotab?
Yes. Next Gen GO Anywhere is a Geotab-native tracker that works with MyGeotab. Fleet managers can view non-powered assets alongside their powered vehicles through one connected platform.
Can Next Gen GO Anywhere reduce manual yard searches?
Yes. Automated hourly location updates help employees find assets without repeatedly walking or driving through yards and job sites. This can save time and reduce operational delays.
Can Next Gen GO Anywhere improve asset utilization?
Yes. Reliable location information can help businesses determine where assets are stored, which ones are available, and which may be underused. This supports better dispatching, planning, and asset allocation.
Can Next Gen GO Anywhere help recover stolen assets?
The tracker provides location visibility and includes High Frequency mode for accelerated reporting during events such as suspected theft. These features can support a faster response and recovery effort, although no tracking device can guarantee that an asset will be recovered.
Is Next Gen GO Anywhere suitable for large fleets?
Yes. The device is specifically designed for high-volume asset-tracking deployments. Its fast installation, configuration-free setup, hourly reporting, and long target battery life make it practical for monitoring large numbers of non-powered assets.
Is Next Gen GO Anywhere available in the United States?
Yes. Next Gen GO Anywhere is available for customers in the United States and uses the AT&T network. Businesses should confirm current coverage, availability, and compatibility before ordering.
