The Teletrac Navman alternative for mixed plant and fleet
Teletrac Navman is an established fleet telematics vendor with a real Australian and New Zealand presence, offering AI video, GPS asset tracking, equipment utilisation, fleet maintenance and heavy-vehicle compliance reporting. Teams look past it when the operation is jobsite-shaped rather than road-first.
MapTrack overlaps on asset tracking and AI dash cams but is built around the mixed-fleet jobsite: the excavator, the generator, the trailer and the tool crate alongside the vehicles, with published hardware and software pricing.
Choose Teletrac Navman when the centre of gravity is a road fleet needing telematics and heavy-vehicle compliance reporting, or when its separate equipment platform (TN360 ACM) already covers your plant. Choose MapTrack, which sells the RoadSight, DualSight and Panorama AI dash cams with GPS built in, when the operation is mixed plant, machinery, trailers and tools, and inspections, maintenance triggers and job costing have to run on the same asset record. MapTrack is one platform for every asset a field business runs: alongside vehicles with GPS and AI dash cams, it tracks the tools, plant and trailers outside the cab with QR, barcode and Data Matrix labels, Bluetooth tags and GPS trackers, and runs their pre-starts, bookings and maintenance on the same record.
Based on Teletrac Navman’s public documentation, MapTrack product pages and public pricing and store pages as of Oct 2026. Capabilities vary by region and package; verify in a pilot.

What is Teletrac Navman?
Teletrac Navman is a long-established fleet telematics vendor with genuine local presence, running dedicated Australian and New Zealand sites alongside the US, UK and Mexico. Its product set spans fleet telematics, AI video ("review every minute of driving time and use AI simplify risk management" in its own words), GPS asset tracking, equipment utilisation, fleet and equipment maintenance, and compliance tools (Electronic Work Diary, Fuel Tax Credits and Mass Manager on its Australian site; ELD, DVIR and IFTA on its US site).
For a road-first fleet with heavy-vehicle compliance obligations, that is a coherent package from a vendor that will answer the phone in the same time zone. The question is what happens to the assets that are not on the road.
Why teams look for a Teletrac Navman alternative
Check how the proposed camera programme fits alongside the tracking, inspection and maintenance workflows for your complete asset register.
The jobsite is not the road when you hire out by rate card
Equipment utilisation, jobsite cost reporting and ownership cost analytics are published products, but hire rate cards and chargeout are not publicly documented.
DVIR is not a plant pre-start with a work order on that machine
DVIR covers heavy-vehicle inspection, and Teletrac Navman also publishes digital pre-use inspections for equipment with failure alerts. Whether a failed check raises a work order on that machine, with the photos and signatures you need, is worth verifying.
Tools and custody
QR scan and BLE custody of tools and small plant is not publicly positioned, and it is often where the losses actually are.
You cannot price it yourself
A "Build Your Solution" configurator routes to a quote with no public price, so comparing total cost against a published alternative takes a sales cycle.

Where MapTrack is different
What covers the assets that have no cab?
Driver-facing footage covers activity in the cab. It doesn't replace location, inspection and maintenance records for trailers, generators, containers, tools and other equipment. Plan coverage from your own asset list.
List the vehicles and plant you want to equip, then confirm mounting, power and viewing requirements with the supplier. MapTrack also uses GPS trackers, BLE beacons and QR labels for asset records beyond the camera programme.
Where does the pre-start live?
An event flagged by a camera is worth more sitting next to the inspection record and service history for the same machine than it is alone in a separate console.
MapTrack runs QR pre-starts against the asset, so a failed check raises a work order on the machine it belongs to. When a pattern of harsh braking concentrates on one vehicle rather than one driver, the brake service history is on the same page, which is the difference between a coaching conversation and a maintenance finding.
Can you see what the asset actually costs?
Rate cards, chargeout and cost history per asset and per site, so utilisation and cost sit beside location rather than in a finance spreadsheet.
Telematics tells you where a machine is. It does not usually tell you what it cost you this month, what it earned on a site, or whether it is worth keeping. MapTrack carries that on the asset record, which is what turns a tracking rollout into a decision about fleet size.
Are you locked into one hardware ecosystem?
MapTrack publishes hardware prices in a public store and stays flexible across AI dashcams, industrial GPS trackers, BLE beacons and QR.
Compare the equipment and contract terms for the rollout you actually need. Include cameras, GPS trackers, BLE beacons and QR labels where appropriate, and check installation, subscriptions and footage review costs separately.
Where Teletrac Navman wins
Written to be useful rather than flattering to us. If these are the things you are buying, buy them.
Genuine ANZ presence
Dedicated Australian and New Zealand sites and local support, which matters for heavy-vehicle operators here in a way it does not for a US-only vendor.
Heavy-vehicle compliance breadth
On its Australian site, Electronic Work Diary, Fuel Tax Credits, Mass Manager and Chain of Responsibility support are published alongside telematics (ELD, DVIR and IFTA on its US site), so a road-first fleet can consolidate several obligations with one vendor.
Maintenance is a real product
Fleet Maintenance is published rather than implied, and equipment tracking explicitly covers location, costs and maintenance schedules.
When to choose each
Choose MapTrack if you…
- Your fleet is mixed: plant, machinery, trailers and tools alongside vehicles.
- Pre-starts, maintenance and cost need to sit on the same record as location.
- You need asset records for equipment beyond the driver-video programme.
- You want published hardware pricing rather than a quote through a configurator.
- Compliance evidence has to cover the whole register, not just the trucks.
- You want site geofences drawn on every map, with entry and exit alerts in MapTrack Telematics.
- You want GPS trackers managed in the same app, with battery, signal and estimated run hours feeding service plans.
- You need equipment bookings (Requests) with approvals, conflict checks and scan-to-check-out.
- You want tiered service plans on run hours, with work orders raised from meter readings.
- You hire out equipment and need rate cards with daily, weekly and monthly rates (a Pro and Enterprise add-on).
- You want a cost ledger, budget vs actual and repair-or-replace for every asset (a Pro and Enterprise add-on).
- You run several divisions that each need their own assets and team access (a Pro and Enterprise add-on).
Consider Teletrac Navman if you…
- •Your fleet is road-first and heavy-vehicle compliance reporting is a primary requirement.
- •You want an established ANZ telematics vendor with local support.
- •Electronic work diary, fuel tax credit and mass compliance reporting matter more to you than mixed-plant inspections and job costing.
Pricing and total cost
MapTrack
Per-asset software pricing with unlimited users, published on the pricing page. Hardware is listed with its price in the public store, including the AI Fleet Dash Cam with GPS and the full GPS tracker range.
You can price a mixed rollout before speaking to anyone, which matters when your rollout includes vehicles, plant, trailers and tools.
Teletrac Navman
Teletrac Navman routes buyers through a "Build Your Solution" configurator to a quote, with no public price. Itemise hardware, AI video licensing, compliance modules, contract term, minimums, installation and data retention before signing, and confirm which obligations the compliance reporting actually covers.
Always compare hardware ownership, contract term, minimums, installation, SIM and data, any managed review service, and footage retention before deciding.
Moving from Teletrac Navman, or running both
Keep a working camera programme in place while you test additional asset workflows. Check the migration, data access and contract requirements before changing equipment.
Export the asset register first, not the footage
Pull your asset list, categories, serial numbers and current assignments. This is the part that takes time and the part that carries forward regardless of which camera vendor you end up with.
Count the cabs
Count vehicles and plant with operator cabs, then confirm each proposed installation. Use the count as a planning estimate and identify the tracking, inspection and maintenance workflows needed for other assets.
Run both on one site
Pick a site with a truck, an excavator, a trailer and a generator. Keep the incumbent running. Compare what each system knows about all four at the end of a month.
Move the workflows, then the hardware
Pre-starts, maintenance schedules and custody move first because they are the daily habit. Hardware follows at contract renewal, which avoids paying twice.
What to verify in a pilot
Both of these are questions to ask, not claims to trust. Run them against your own asset list.
- ✓MapTrack: Load a real asset list covering a truck, an excavator, a trailer and a generator. Run a pre-start on each, trigger a maintenance task from runtime, and check the cost history. The test is whether all four assets have a complete record at the end, not whether the camera works.
- ✓Teletrac Navman: Ask which tracker models and battery lives apply to your trailers, containers, generators and tools, and whether the pre-use inspections carry the photos, signatures and work order follow-up you need on plant rather than only vehicles. Ask exactly which Chain of Responsibility obligations the compliance reporting addresses; its Australian compliance pages describe CoR alongside Mass Manager.
Other alternatives worth considering
If the camera is the whole programme, these are the comparisons that matter more than ours.
Samsara
Large connected-operations platform with strong fleet, trailer and camera hardware. Strongest where the fleet is vehicle-heavy.
Geotab
Deep telematics ecosystem with a wide marketplace. Camera options exist alongside a large third-party integration set.
Verizon Connect
Established fleet telematics with dash cam options, strongest in vehicle fleets.
Trackunit
Construction-equipment telematics with strong OEM coverage and Bluetooth tags for tools. Less focused on tool custody and job costing.
