What fleet GPS tracking is and how it works.

A small unit in the vehicle fixes its position from satellites, sends it over the cellular network, and you see it on a map, with history, reports, and video. This guide explains the basics, no technical background needed.

From satellite to your map

The unit listens to two satellite systems, GPS and BeiDou, and works out where the vehicle is. Then it sends the position, speed, and events over the cellular network. You open the fleet map and see every vehicle live, its trips, and when it entered or left a zone. You install no software and charge nothing: the unit is hardwired into the vehicle.

What you see beyond the dot

  • 365 days of history: where each vehicle was, which trips it made, when it entered or left zones.
  • Driver score from driving style: harsh braking, speeding, dangerous maneuvers.
  • Alarms the moment they happen: SOS, collision, rollover, driver fatigue, driver assistance (ADAS).
  • Video and photos when it matters: live picture on request and automatic clips on alarms.
  • Per-second “black box” data around every incident, so you know what happened.

What GPS does not do

GPS does not record audio: Filodos records no sound. GPS does not replace the tachograph: GPS-derived driving hours do not count as a tachograph. And GPS alone does not prove what happened in an accident — that is what Video is for, with road and cabin cameras. See the fleet cameras guide.

Cost

Tracking starts at €15 and Video at €29 per vehicle per month, excluding VAT, with unlimited users. The unit and the installation are billed separately. See Pricing and the fleet GPS cost guide.

Your drivers and personal data

For vehicle and camera data, your company is the data controller and Filodos processes the data on your behalf. Tell your drivers what the system records and why, before you start. This page is not legal advice. See the privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Does the vehicle need internet?

Not from you. The unit sends the data itself over the cellular network; you install no software.

Does the unit need charging?

No. It is hardwired into the vehicle and works on its own.

Does GPS replace the tachograph?

No. GPS-derived driving hours do not count as a tachograph.
