MapTrack vs Teletrac Navman for fleet and plant tracking

Choose Teletrac Navman when the centre of gravity is a road fleet needing telematics and heavy-vehicle compliance reporting. Choose MapTrack, which sells its own AI dash cams, 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.

How to decide between them

Which is better for GPS across jobsites?

Teletrac Navman is fleet-first. MapTrack is stronger when location has to feed a mixed-asset register, cost ledger, pre-start evidence and maintenance plan.

A jobsite GPS platform has to do more than show dots on a map. It needs to understand which site, crew, project and cost centre an asset belongs to, whether that asset is inspected, and what should happen when the machine runs enough hours to need service.

How do hardware choices compare?

Both publish asset-tracking hardware. MapTrack additionally publishes its prices, and stays flexible across AI dashcams, GPS, BLE and QR on one record.

High-value machines, trailers and service vehicles often need different tracking methods. MapTrack lets teams combine hardwired GPS, battery GPS, BLE, QR labels, barcodes and OEM telematics instead of forcing every asset into one device model.

What happens after GPS data arrives?

Both do maintenance. MapTrack ties runtime, odometer and failed pre-starts to work orders on the same record as the camera and the cost history.

Location and meter data only become useful when they trigger action. MapTrack connects GPS, engine hours, odometer and fault-code feeds to pre-starts, defects, service intervals and work orders, with the evidence retained on the asset record.

Which model is easier to cost before a pilot?

MapTrack publishes hardware prices in a public store and a public software pricing page. Teletrac Navman pricing needs a configurator and a quote.

For commercial GPS, compare total cost: device purchase or rental, SIM/data plan, installation, software modules, user access, implementation, support and contract term. MapTrack separates hardware selection from the operating platform so buyers can model the rollout asset by asset.

What should a pilot prove?

Pilot a truck, an excavator, a trailer and a generator together, and check which platform still has a complete record for all four.

A good pilot should include powered and unpowered assets, at least two jobsite geofences, a pre-start form, one runtime or odometer maintenance trigger, one asset cost report and one field user who has to complete the workflow offline.

Verdict: MapTrack wins when GPS has to run the jobsite

Teletrac Navman can be a strong GPS or telematics choice. MapTrack is the better fit when plant, machinery, trailers, tools and fleet need to share one operating record across sites, inspections, maintenance and costs.

Teletrac Navman

Teletrac Navman routes buyers through a "Build Your Solution" configurator to a quote, with no public price. Check 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, SIM/data, installation, implementation, software modules, users and contract term before deciding.

Commercial GPS TCO checklist

Use the same cost categories for every vendor quote so the comparison is not just monthly software price.

Hardware and connectivity

  • GPS device cost by asset class
  • SIM, satellite or data-plan costs
  • Installation and replacement labour
  • Battery life and service interval assumptions

Software and users

  • Software licence model
  • Unlimited users versus per-seat pricing
  • Modules required for maintenance, forms and reporting
  • Contract length, minimums and cancellation terms

Workflow consolidation

  • Separate tools still needed beside Teletrac Navman
  • Pre-start and defect workflow coverage
  • Rate-card and cost-reporting coverage
  • Manual export/import work required for finance or maintenance

When to choose each platform

Choose MapTrack if you…

  • You manage plant, machinery, trailers, tools and vehicles across jobsites.
  • You need GPS to connect to pre-starts, work orders, run hours, rate cards and asset costs.
  • You want transparent GPS hardware options and per-asset software pricing with unlimited users.
  • You need QR, BLE, GPS and OEM telematics in one asset register.
  • 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 want an AI form builder for pre-starts and inspections, with loaded forms that submit offline and sync after reconnection.
  • You use barcode or Data Matrix labels as well as QR, scanned with the phone camera or a handheld scanner.
  • 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.
  • ELD, DVIR and IFTA reporting matter more to you than mixed-plant inspections and job costing.

How to move from Teletrac Navman or a standalone GPS tool

You do not need to retag every asset at once. Start with the assets where location, downtime and cost leakage hurt most.

1

Map assets and tracking methods

Classify plant, trailers, generators, service vehicles, attachments and tools by value, movement pattern and whether they need GPS, BLE, QR or OEM telematics.

2

Pilot the real workflow

Run a small GPS pilot with live geofences, one pre-start, one runtime maintenance trigger, one operator assignment and one cost report.

3

Compare Teletrac Navman data coverage

Check which data should stay in the incumbent telemetry platform, which should flow into MapTrack and which separate spreadsheets or forms can be retired.

4

Roll out by asset class

Deploy the right hardware and forms by asset type, then train site teams on scan, inspect, allocate, maintain and cost workflows.

What to verify in a GPS pilot

A commercial GPS pilot should prove the operational workflow, not just whether a tracker reports a dot on a map.

  • ✓MapTrack: Verify geofences, pre-starts, runtime/odometer work orders, rate cards, cost reporting, QR/BLE fallback and offline field workflows.
  • ✓Teletrac Navman: Verify Teletrac Navman hardware fit, contract terms, region support, API/integration scope, pre-start depth, maintenance workflow depth and whether job costing needs another system.

MapTrack vs Teletrac Navman FAQs

MapTrack is usually the better fit when commercial GPS needs to feed plant and machinery workflows across jobsites: pre-starts, runtime or odometer maintenance, rate-card context and job costing, with live GPS and geofences in MapTrack Telematics. Teletrac Navman may be the better fit when your organisation already standardises on its hardware, fleet or telematics ecosystem.

Sometimes, but not always. MapTrack can replace standalone GPS, asset register, inspection, maintenance and cost tracking tools when those workflows need to sit together. If Teletrac Navman is already your telematics source, MapTrack can also sit above telematics data and use it to run asset operations.

Yes. MapTrack supports industrial GPS trackers for powered and unpowered assets, including excavators, trailers, generators, compressors, service vehicles and mobile plant. It also supports OEM telematics and QR/BLE tracking for assets where GPS is not required.

Compare the full system cost: tracker hardware, SIM/data fees, installation, software modules, implementation, user access, contract length, support and the cost of any separate systems needed for pre-starts, work orders, asset costing or reporting.

Fleet GPS systems usually start with vehicles and location. MapTrack starts with the asset and the jobsite workflow, then connects GPS, QR, BLE and telematics to the asset record, pre-start evidence, maintenance plan, run hours and cost history.

Yes. A good pilot usually includes a hardwired machine, a battery-powered trailer or generator, one service vehicle and a QR/BLE-tracked asset so the team can test mixed tracking methods before rolling out across the fleet.

Yes. MapTrack is one platform for every asset a field business runs: tools, plant, trailers and vehicles, tracked with QR, barcode and Data Matrix labels, Bluetooth tags, GPS trackers and AI dash cams, and inspected, booked and maintained on one record, from any phone. It is priced per asset with unlimited users and holds Capterra’s Best Ease of Use award for 2026.

Yes. Crews book equipment ahead through Requests, with optional approval and a planning view that shows conflicts, and a scan at pick-up turns the booking into a check-out, so everyone knows who has what.

Yes. MapTrack runs preventive maintenance on time or meter triggers, with tiered service plans (for example 250, 500 and 1,000 hour services), work orders raised from meter readings, one work order across many assets with a pass or fail for each, parts by location and bin, and a full service history on every asset.

Yes. MapTrack rate cards set daily, weekly and monthly hire rates by asset category or individual asset, for dry, wet or standby hire, and record the hire cost when equipment comes back. Finance dashboards keep a cost ledger for every asset, location and person, with budget vs actual, depreciation and repair-or-replace guidance. Divisions give each division its own assets and team access, while account owners see across every division. Rate cards, finance and divisions are an add-on on the Pro and Enterprise plans.
