MyGeotab: What could be causing straight lines on MyGeotab map?

• Poor GPS reception
• Straight Lines on the Map
• Vehicle going over Buildings, trees, etc.
• GPS coordinates do not change under View Accident & Log Data
• Vehicle location is not accurate on the map

GPS performance may be compromised due to:

• Poor weather conditions, such as dense clouds or heavy precipitation
• The receiver is in an environment where physical obstructions, such as mountains, deep valleys, tall buildings, overhangs, bridges or tunnels are apparent
• The receiver is obstructed by something within the vehicle
• The device is not properly installed
• The use of a three-wire harness with different ignition detection logic; you can find appropriate harness using this guide
• The use of GPS jamming equipment

• Hardware: How to troubleshoot a GO Device not communicating (while you are at the vehicle) or Hardware: How to troubleshoot a GO device not communicating remotely after installation
• How do I view engine faults/measurements by vehicle?

• Ensure proper device installation and location for better GPS reception. This will not guarantee GPS latch if issues are due to external environmental factors however.
• Three-wire harness installation may result in straight lines on the map at the start of a trip before ignition is detected.
