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, 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 pricing/store pages as of Oct 2026. Capabilities can vary by region and package; verify in a pilot.

How to decide between them
Which is better for GPS across jobsites?
Teletrac Navman is fleet-first, with a separate equipment platform (TN360 ACM). 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.
