Queclink GV500MAP — LTE Cat M1 OBD Tracker with CAN Data Reading for North America

The Queclink GV500MAP is the most capable OBD tracker in Queclink's North American LTE Cat M1 series — the direct upgrade of the GV500MA, adding a built-in OBD transceiver that reads CAN bus data directly from the vehicle's onboard computer alongside GPS tracking. Where the GV500MA uses the OBD port for power only, the GV500MAP reads 13 types of vehicle data including fuel level, VIN, odometer, engine RPM and Diagnostic Trouble Codes — providing a complete picture of both vehicle location and vehicle health in a single plug-and-play device.

Widely validated across the US domestic vehicle market and field tested on over 140 vehicle types covering almost all major North American manufacturers, the GV500MAP supports reliable ISO CAN bus data reading from almost all vehicles manufactured after 2008 in North America. Certified by Verizon and AT&T and using Queclink's unique dual orthogonal GNSS antenna design for best-in-class GPS performance, the GV500MAP is a compelling choice for UBI, car leasing, fleet management and vehicle maintenance programmes across the US and Canada.

As an authorised Queclink distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the GV500MAP directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for insurance providers, telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers deploying in North America.

Key Features

• LTE Cat M1 and NB1 with 2G fallback — global LTE Cat M1 and NB1 connectivity certified by Verizon and AT&T for reliable operation across North American networks, with automatic EGPRS 2G fallback

• CAN bus data reading — internal OBD transceiver reads 13 types of CAN bus data directly from the vehicle ECU via the ISO CAN channel, providing reliable vehicle diagnostics data alongside GPS tracking

• 13 OBD parameters including fuel level, VIN, odometer, RPM and DTC — reads fuel level, vehicle identification number, odometer reading, engine RPM, engine load, coolant temperature, throttle position, vehicle speed and Diagnostic Trouble Codes among others

• Field tested on 140+ vehicle types — validated across almost all major North American vehicle manufacturers, supporting almost all vehicles manufactured after 2008 in North America

• Dual orthogonal GNSS antennas — two perpendicular GNSS antennas with auto-tuning design deliver best-in-class

• GPS performance for OBD-mounted devices including under-column positions

• Plug-and-play OBD-II installation — draws power and reads data directly from the vehicle OBD-II port, no wiring or installation engineer required BLE 4.2 — connects to Bluetooth Low Energy accessories and supports data transmission when LTE coverage is temporarily unavailable

• Crash detection and accident data collection — built-in accelerometer detects impact events and collects detailed accident data for reconstruction, analysis and insurance claims

• Driving behaviour monitoring — detects harsh acceleration, harsh braking and aggressive driving for UBI risk scoring and driver coaching

• Geofencing — up to 20 configurable geofence zones with automatic entry and exit alerts

• Motion and tow detection — alerts when the vehicle is moved without ignition

• Low battery and OBD disconnection alerts — immediate notification if the device is tampered with or disconnected

• Scheduled and triggered reporting — configurable reporting intervals for data usage management DTC fault code monitoring — reads and transmits Diagnostic Trouble Codes for proactive vehicle maintenance alerting

• OTA control — remote firmware and configuration management

Driver Identification with Tracking Hardware UK BLE Keypad

The GV500MAP supports BLE 4.2 and is compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad. Drivers enter their unique PIN or present their card at the start of each trip, and the driver ID is logged alongside all CAN, GPS and telematics data — enabling driver accountability with no wiring required.

GV500MAP vs GV500MA — Which Should You Choose?

Both devices are LTE Cat M1 OBD trackers for North America, Verizon and AT&T certified, with dual orthogonal GNSS antennas, crash detection and driving behaviour monitoring. The single critical difference is OBD data reading — the GV500MAP reads 13 types of CAN bus data from the vehicle ECU including fuel level, VIN, odometer, RPM and fault codes. The GV500MA uses the OBD port for power only and does not read vehicle data. If vehicle diagnostics, fuel monitoring or DTC fault codes are required alongside GPS tracking, the GV500MAP is the correct choice.
