“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.”

Bolt2 features and specifications

The Bolt2 is the fastest way to add GPS tracking to any vehicle with an OBDII port. Plug it in and tracking starts within 60 seconds. No wiring, no tools, no installer required. An internal backup battery ensures the device continues transmitting its location even if disconnected, and a "power loss" alert notifies you immediately when someone unplugs it. Built-in accelerometer data enables speeding alerts, harsh braking/cornering detection, and automatic accident notification, while electronic odometer calculations give you accurate distance readings without relying on the vehicle's own instruments.

  • Instant "power loss" alert if disconnected

Frequently asked questions

Which vehicles have an OBDII port?

Most petrol and diesel vehicles manufactured from 2005 onwards have a standard OBDII port, typically located under the dashboard near the steering column. The Bolt2 uses the standard J1962 connector.

What happens if someone unplugs it?

The Bolt2 sends an immediate "power loss" alert to your MapTrack dashboard and continues tracking on its internal backup battery, so you can see where the vehicle goes even after disconnection.

Can I use an OBDII splitter?

Yes. An optional OBDII splitter cable allows the Bolt2 to share the port with other diagnostic tools or devices without disconnecting.

Works with the MapTrack Platform

Every Bolt2 comes from us and reports into your MapTrack account. No third-party subscription to arrange.

One supplier for the trackers, the Bluetooth tags, the labels and the dash cams, and one account behind them. The asset register lives in MapTrack; live GPS, geofences and trip history run in MapTrack Telematics alongside it.
