EROAD Locate: GPS tracking for light vehicles

When your utes, vans and cars are out on jobs all day, you need to know where they are without calling every driver. EROAD Locate plugs into each vehicle's on-board diagnostics (OBD) port, and MyEROAD shows you where each one is in near real-time and what it's been doing. You can fit it yourself, and your subcontractors' vehicles can carry one too.

Benefits

How EROAD Locate helps your fleet

EROAD Locate is built for fleets that need solid visibility and reporting on their light vehicles, in a simple plug-in device.

It's a good fit for shared or hire vehicles, subcontractor fleets, or the light vehicles in a mixed fleet that don't need in-cab coaching and communication.

Support for lone worker safety

If someone's working alone, you can see where their vehicle is in near real-time. It tracks the vehicle, not the person, so it's one part of your emergency response plan.

Easy to fit yourself

Simply plug it into the OBD port. Or for a more secure fit, tuck it behind the dash and leave the OBD port open for diagnostics. If you'd rather someone else did it, we can arrange a professional install.

Coach safer driving habits

Overspeed and driver safety reports show where to focus your coaching. They're part of the optional Safety Advanced bundle.

  • Configurable email alerts
  • Vehicle location and activity history
  • Geofence entry/exit reporting and alerts

  • Easy-install hardware that plugs into the OBD port
  • Geofence reports show when they enter and leave your sites
  • Transfer the device to a different vehicle when contractors change
