“Our investment in MapTrack paid off in a big way when a couple of pieces of test equipment, valued at over $142,000 AUD, was stolen during a break-in at an employee's home. Thanks to MapTrack, we were able to give police the exact location of the asset, even guiding them over the phone as they executed the search warrant. This led them directly to the equipment, which was recovered within 48 hours.”

Choosing the right GPS tracker for your business

The right GPS tracker depends on three factors: what you are tracking (vehicles, trailers, portable equipment, tools), whether a power source is available (battery vs. hardwired), and how frequently you need location updates (daily check-ins vs. real-time movement tracking).

Battery-powered trackers are the most versatile option. They require no wiring, no installation tools, and no ongoing power source. Simply attach the tracker to your asset - magnetically, with screws, or with cable ties, and it reports its location for up to 10 years on a single set of user-replaceable batteries. Models like the Barra GPS ($200 ex GST) offer full satellite GPS accuracy, while budget options like the Barra Core ($100 ex GST) use Wi-Fi and cell tower positioning for zone-level tracking at half the cost.

Hardwired trackers connect permanently to a vehicle or machine’s electrical system. Because they draw continuous power, they support always-on real-time tracking with no battery limitations. Models like the Dart3 and G70 BLE add driver identification, behaviour monitoring (speeding, harsh braking, fatigue), accident detection, and a switched output for a starter immobilisation circuit - features that battery-powered trackers cannot support.

For operations in remote or offshore locations without cellular coverage, the G150 Satellite with the optional Iridium module provides satellite connectivity as a fallback, ensuring location updates even in the most isolated parts of Australia.

All MapTrack GPS trackers ship with a pre-activated SIM card and connect directly to the MapTrack platform. No third-party subscriptions, no gateway hardware, no complex setup. Power on the device, and it appears on your dashboard.

Battery-powered vs hardwired: which GPS tracker do you need?

Battery-powered GPS trackers like the Barra and Yabby range are designed for unpowered assets: trailers, containers, scaffolding, generators and equipment that moves between sites. They use long-life lithium batteries lasting up to 10 years and attach with screws or cable ties. No wiring required.

Hardwired GPS trackers like the Dart3 and G70 connect to a vehicle's power supply and provide continuous real-time tracking with driver ID, behaviour monitoring and digital inputs. They suit fleet vehicles, trucks and heavy plant where permanent installation is practical. The Bolt2 offers a plug-and-play OBDII option for light vehicles.

GPS tracker FAQ

What is the difference between battery-powered and hardwired GPS trackers?

Battery-powered trackers are self-contained. No wiring required. They run on user-replaceable batteries rated for up to 10 years at one update a day (up to 8 for the Barra GPS, up to 20 for the D-cell Remora3) and are ideal for trailers, generators, containers and equipment that does not have a constant power supply. Hardwired trackers connect to a vehicle or machine's electrical system for continuous tracking with features like driver ID, behaviour monitoring and a switched output an auto electrician can wire to a starter immobilisation circuit.

How long do the batteries actually last?

Battery life depends on how frequently the tracker reports its position. At one update a day, most models are rated for up to 10 years; the Barra GPS for up to 8, and the D-cell Remora3 for up to 20. With movement-based tracking (2 hours of movement a day, 5 days a week), expect 2 to 7 years depending on the model, or up to 10 on the Remora3. At one update an hour, expect 1.5 to 4.5 years, or up to 10 on the Remora3. Each product page lists its own figures, and the batteries are user-replaceable.

Do I need a separate SIM card or data plan?

Every GPS tracker ships with a pre-activated SIM card included. Each device requires a monthly data plan for cellular connectivity, starting from $10 ex GST ($11 inc GST) a month (Locate), $12 ex GST ($13.20 inc GST) a month (Move) or $20 ex GST ($22 inc GST) a month (Real-Time Fleet). Plans are selected per device when ordering. You never need to deal with a carrier directly.

Which tracker should I choose for my use case?

For most plant, machinery, trailers and generators, start with a long-life battery tracker such as Barra GPS or Oyster Edge. For powered vehicles and machines that need frequent updates, use a hardwired tracker such as Dart3 or G70 BLE. For indoor-outdoor coverage, choose a BLE gateway tracker and pair it with beacons or driver cards. For remote or offshore assets, use the G150 satellite tracker. Not sure? Contact our team for a recommendation.

Are the trackers waterproof?

Yes, all battery-powered and hardwired outdoor trackers are rated IP68, meaning they are dust-tight and can withstand continuous submersion. The Bolt2 (OBDII) is designed for cabin mounting and does not require waterproofing.

Can I track assets in real time?

Yes. All MapTrack GPS trackers support live tracking in MapTrack Telematics, and each asset's latest position shows on its MapTrack record. Update frequency is set by the data plan: up to 4 updates a day on Locate, up to 16 on Move, or every 60 seconds on Real-Time Fleet for hardwired trackers (model dependent). Movement-based tracking activates frequent updates only when the asset is in motion, preserving battery when stationary.

What's the best GPS tracker for equipment and trailers?

For most trailers, generators and plant without a constant power supply, start with a battery-powered Barra GPS at $200 ex GST ($220 inc GST), or an Oyster Edge if you also want it to pick up Bluetooth tags. Machines and trucks with power suit a hardwired Dart3 or G70 BLE, and the G150 covers sites with no mobile coverage. Not sure? Book a 30-minute call and we'll match a tracker to each asset.

How do I order GPS trackers for my equipment?

Add trackers and their data plans to a quote and send it, or book a 30-minute call. Before anything ships, we go through your quote and how you want your devices set up on a 30-minute setup call, then set up your MapTrack account and devices for you. In-stock trackers ship within 1-3 business days once your order's confirmed, with delivery 2-7 days after dispatch. Shipping is $15, free on orders over $1,000, and each tracker carries a 12-month manufacturer's warranty. Our trackers ship within Australia and New Zealand; elsewhere we connect your machines' own telematics or existing trackers with you.

How do the trackers work with MapTrack?

Every tracker comes from us and reports into your MapTrack account. Each asset's latest position, tracker battery level and estimated run hours and kilometres sit on its record, next to its pre starts, service history and documents, and Bluetooth tag detections update an asset's location. Live GPS tracking, geofences, trips and history run in MapTrack Telematics, from the same supplier and account. MapTrack software is priced per asset, with unlimited users.

Do I need a subscription for a GPS tracker?

Yes. A GPS tracker needs a data plan to send its position, so each tracker here is ordered with one. Bought outright, a Barra GPS is $200 ex GST ($220 inc GST) once and the Locate plan is $10 ex GST ($11 inc GST) a month, so the tracker and its data come to about $13.33 ex GST ($14.66 inc GST) a month per asset over five years, with MapTrack software priced per asset on top. On a Machine Plan, towed plant with a battery tracker is $27 ex GST ($29.70 inc GST) a machine a month, billed annually, with the tracker and MapTrack software included on a 36-month hardware term. Trackers sold with no subscription still pay for their connection somewhere: the data is built into the purchase price, you supply your own SIM, or the device relies on nearby phones. An Apple AirTag has no plan because it has no mobile connection of its own. It sends a Bluetooth signal that nearby devices in Apple's Find My network pick up, so its location only updates when one of them passes, and Apple alerts a phone that an unknown AirTag is travelling with it.
