Which GPS tracker should I choose?

The 4G OBD tracker plugs straight into the diagnostic port under the dash, so there is no wiring. The UT920 is hard-wired for a permanent, hidden install in a vehicle. The Long Life Battery tracker needs no power connection at all, which makes it a good fit for trailers, boats, machinery and other gear.

What are the ongoing costs?

There are ongoing costs for running your GPS tracker and for access to our portal for live tracking, history and location. See our Plans page for more information.

How do I log in to the tracking portal?

Utrack accounts now run on the Fleet Track portal at app.fleettrack.nz. If you have not received your login details, contact us and we will sort it.

My GPS tracker has stopped working out of the blue. What should I check?

Check the battery is charged, or that a plug-in or hard-wired unit has power. If you use your own SIM card, check it hasn't expired (12 months from the last top up) or run out of credit. Contact us about our managed SIMs, which don't need topping up and don't expire. Older 2G and 3G Utrack trackers can no longer connect now that those networks have been switched off in New Zealand, and will need replacing with a 4G unit.

Can a GPS tracker be hard wired so it never needs charging?

Yes. The UT920 is designed to be hard-wired into a vehicle by an auto electrician so it runs off the vehicle's power.

Is it illegal to use a GPS tracker?

No. However, it is illegal to use a GPS tracker to track a person without their knowledge. You must tell your staff if you are installing a GPS tracker in company vehicles. This also applies to family.

I have an old Utrack tracker. Can I upgrade?

Yes. Get in touch with your account details and we will recommend the right 4G replacement and move your account across.
