Rated by teams who run plant, fleet and tools
“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.”
Yabby3 GPS features and specifications
The Yabby3 GPS delivers full satellite GPS accuracy in the Yabby's famously compact and ultra-rugged housing. Where the Yabby Edge uses cloud-based location solving, the Yabby3 GPS runs a full on-device GNSS chipset for faster time-to-first-fix and consistent 3–5 metre accuracy, even in challenging environments with intermittent connectivity. It runs on 3 user-replaceable AAA lithium batteries, rated for up to 10 years at one update a day, with battery low and critical alerts so you are never caught off guard. The IP68/IK06 housing is engineered for construction, mining, and heavy industry.

One tracker per vehicle, machine or trailer.
How long the Yabby3 GPS battery lasts
Battery life depends on how often the tracker reports its position. These are the rated figures for the Yabby3 GPS, each at the update rate it assumes. Temperature, signal and your tracking settings change them, so we size the reporting rate with you in the demo.
Up to 10 years
At one update a day
Up to 2 years
With movement-based tracking (2 hours of movement a day, 5 days a week)
Up to 1.5 years
At one update an hour
The batteries are user-replaceable, and you can see each tracker's battery level in MapTrack, so you replace them when they're low rather than on a guess.
