The Geotab GO9 Device

Advanced fleet tracking & telematics device

Built to support your fleet now and into the future

Welcome to the most powerful GO device ever. The Geotab GO9 is redesigned from the ground up, featuring a 32-bit processor, more memory, more RAM and a gyroscope. The GO9 features expanded capacity for further native vehicle support, improved fuel usage support, electric vehicles and global expansion.

Accurate vehicle tracking

Collect rich, accurate data on vehicle location, speed, trip distance and time, engine idling and more. Even if your vehicle is parked indoors and underground, GPS vehicle tracking and telematics starts recording as soon as you begin driving. The GO9 introduces the new Global Navigation Satellite System module (GNSS) for faster latch times and increasingly accurate location data.

Vehicle health assessments

Extract valuable information on vehicle health and status. Record VIN, odometer, engine faults and more. This data not only helps prioritize vehicle maintenance, but also helps audit vehicle use to identify both safe and risky driving habits.

Collision detection and notification

Geotab offers exceptional harsh-event data (acceleration, braking, cornering, etc.) and collision reconstruction through our patented algorithms and the GO device’s accelerometer. If a suspected collision is detected, detailed forensic data will be automatically uploaded from the GO device to allow for forensic reconstruction of the event — including in-vehicle reverse collisions. Email and desktop alerts signal first notice of loss.

Secured data

Geotab platform security provides end-to-end data protection. Security methods include authentication, encryption, message integrity verification, unique ID and non-static security keys, over-the-air updates that use digitally-signed firmware to verify that updates come from a trusted source. Device security features are implemented using a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module. Certificate #3371.

In-vehicle driver coaching

Improve driving behaviors, like speeding and idling, by playing an audible alert or coach the driver with spoken words (available as an Add-On). Immediate feedback can enhance fleet safety, reinforce company policy and encourage your drivers to take immediate corrective action.

Advanced data capture

Vehicles send data from a multitude of sources, including the engine, drivetrain, instrument cluster and other subsystems. Utilizing multiple internal networks, the GO9 captures much of this data.

Geotab GO9: Highlights

Simple Installation

Simply plug the GO9 device directly into your vehicle's OBD II port with an adapter where needed. No antenna or wire-splicing required. The device auto-calibrates to accommodate for installation in any orientation.

Updates made Easier

OTA (over-the-air) updates include device, GPS, and select cellular modems (LTE only).
The latest firmware and configuration are applied at time of installation for enhanced privacy, security, and reliability.

GO9 hardware innovations

The device code space provides the capacity for further native vehicle support and more features — such as the improved fuel usage support that determines the engine size based on the VIN (vehicle identification number).
The accelerometer — analyzing the X, Y, and Z axis — is enhanced with the addition of a gyroscope — which analyzes the angular velocity (such as spinouts during accidents or harsh driving) — to provide enhanced data for accident detection and examination.
Updated GPS module to a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) module offering both GPS and GLONASS support. This new module provides improved latch times (time-tofirst- fix) and enhanced location data accuracy.
