GPSauge:
The Consistent Implementation of a Telematics Solution
GPSauge is different. The simplest way to explain why is as follows: At GPSoverIP, the customer’s needs are our top priority. What does the customer want or need, and how can GPSoverIP best meet those needs? The answers to these questions serve as the foundation for every development, from which innovations and new technologies continually emerge.
Every GPSauge supports the GPSoverIP protocols and is designed to be a useful tool for the customer for its entire lifespan. GPSoverIP’s telematics hardware is therefore designed so that it can be kept up to date with the latest technology throughout its entire lifespan via over-the-air updates. GPSoverIP customers and users of the GPSauge telematics hardware are thus always at the cutting edge of technology. They benefit from ongoing advancements, even if the devices have been in use for several years.
The Universal Solution
The GPSauge MI6 PRO is the smallest and most powerful device for live vehicle tracking, which can be discreetly installed almost anywhere. No other telematics unit in the world has won as many awards! One of the hardware’s standout features is that no additional accessories are required for the inductive telemetry connection. Designed for reliable use in fleet management—even in areas with low bandwidth.
The Simple Solution
The GPSauge OBD (Simple Solution) is a comprehensive and easy-to-integrate solution for your entire fleet. Despite its compact size and ease of use, the GPSauge OBD offers the full range of telematics capabilities—and that’s what sets it apart:
The OBD telematics systems available on the market have only a few limited functions, such as location tracking and logbook management. The GPSauge OBD, on the other hand, offers all the essential functions found in traditional systems—from real-time tracking via object detection using BLE LR to advanced telemetry data transmission.
The Flexible Solution
The GPSauge TAB (Flexible Solution) is the telematics unit that offers the full range of telematics capabilities—with maximum flexibility. The standout feature of the GPSauge TAB is its mobility—it can be easily removed from the cab and used flexibly in various application scenarios. Thanks to the easy plug-in connection to the dock, connecting and disconnecting is quick and convenient.
The GPSauge TAB offers a comprehensive range of features, including CAN/FMS connectivity, remote download (digital tachograph), and business navigation, all of which can be seamlessly integrated into various applications.
The Convenient Solution
The GPSauge Phone (Compact Solution) is a modern smartphone designed specifically to meet the requirements of telematics. With its technical capabilities and high-quality build, the GPSauge Phone is a reliable solution for everyday use wherever a compact telematics solution is needed.
In addition to standard smartphone functions, the GPSauge Phone offers a comprehensive range of features, including CAN/FMS connectivity, remote download (digital tachograph), and business navigation, which can be seamlessly integrated into various applications.
The All-in-One Solution
The GPSauge IN1 (all-in-one solution) is a telematics unit that meets the requirements of all industries and is manufactured in accordance with industrial and automotive standards—making it robust and durable. All necessary connections and technologies are integrated into this unit.
Features such as the Twin-CAN/FMS connection, remote download (digital tachograph), and business navigation are also included as standard.

*App = GPSauge mobile is available for Android and iOS and—to put it simply—adds a display to the GPSauge MI6 or OBD. Alternatively, the app can also be used as a standalone solution with limited functionality. When paired with the GPSauge MI6 or OBD, the smartphone or tablet running the app serves as a driver display and handles navigation, job management, and more. At the same time, the GPSauge MI6 or GPSauge OBD records vehicle telemetry.
*with MI6/OBD = While the GPSauge TAB serves as a driver display and handles tasks such as navigation and job management, the GPSauge MI6 or GPSauge OBD records vehicle telemetry.
Telematics Hardware "Made in Germany"
The telematics company GPSoverIP places great importance on ensuring that the entire development and deployment of the fleet management system, as well as the production of the “GPSauge” telematics products, take place in Germany. Anyone who takes a closer look at telematics will quickly realize that a telematics solution can only deliver the desired results if every single link in this complex chain functions reliably. The interaction between telematics hardware and fleet management software must function seamlessly, as even a single interruption can disrupt the entire chain.
Even when it comes to the telematics hardware components, this interaction is of the utmost importance. GPSoverIP selects and coordinates these components very carefully during the development process. For example, all devices automatically adapt to voltage conditions in a retroactively certified and secure manner. Down to the lowest-level telematics module, over-the-air capability is ensured at the connectivity level. Likewise, only GNSS receivers with multiple satellite-based sensors are used. The communication modules used, in turn, are explicitly tailored to the data communication requirements of the GPSoverIP protocols.
The “Made in Germany” seal of quality is therefore not an empty marketing promise, but a comprehensive and justifiable necessity in the field of telematics.
The associated telematics portal
The GPS Explorer (browser-based web portal) is included with every GPSaugen (telematics unit). It is a powerful application for managing fleets of any size.
It doesn’t matter whether you need to manage just one vehicle or thousands.
Everything at a glance—even on the go
Manage your fleet with GPS-Explorer mobile: fleet management even when you're on the go.
Which vehicle in your fleet is closest to a destination address?
Where are my vehicles?
What is the current temperature in the cargo area?
