High Point GPS vs GPS Trackit: Direct-Sold Tracking vs a Locally Delivered Platform

GPS Trackit sells its own trackers, ELD and cameras directly to small and mid-size fleets, while High Point GPS delivers an open platform with installation and support from Montreal. GPS Trackit, a US telematics vendor that combined with Zonar Systems in December 2024, offers plug-in and hardwired trackers, an ELD, AI dash cams and asset trackers, with a web platform and mobile app; its tools now continue through Zonar. It covers the standard set of tracking, alerts, driver behaviour, maintenance and compliance for fleets that want one vendor and a phone number.

Every row below can be checked on a public page: Transport Canada's list of certified electronic logging devices, read in October 2026, and GPS Trackit's own website. High Point GPS is a Geotab partner, and the ELD it installs is Geotab's. Certification status changes over time, and the list notes that the certification body has the final say, so confirm the current entry before you sign.

High Point GPS differs on the platform and on delivery. The platform is open: broader vehicle data from the GPS tracking device, a rules engine and reports configured for your fleet, an API, SDK and Data Connector, and an add-on library of cameras, sensors and applications from many vendors. Delivery is local. High Point GPS installs, builds the database, trains the office and supports the fleet, on site where needed, in French and English. GPS Trackit's catalogue is its own hardware line; High Point GPS's is the add-on library.

Both offer an ELD registered for US use. The GPS tracking devices High Point GPS installs are also on Transport Canada's certified ELD list; GPS Trackit does not appear there by name, though Zonar, which now runs its ELD tools, does, so a Canadian fleet should confirm which certified device it would get. Both offer AI dash cams: GPS Trackit sells its own, and High Point GPS installs Geotab's GO Focus Plus and GO Focus Pro. For a fleet in Canada or crossing the border, Canadian certification decides it; a US-only fleet weighs platform depth and a local partner against single-vendor simplicity.

GPS Trackit suits a US small fleet that wants one vendor. A fleet in Canada, a cross-border fleet, or any fleet that wants to build on its data with a partner who installs and supports it should choose High Point GPS. High Point GPS deploys the platform for fleets across Canada and the United States.

A handful of questions settles it in an afternoon. Does any vehicle run in Canada, now or under the next contract? That settles ELD certification. Does the office need the data anywhere besides the vendor's own screen, such as a dispatch, payroll or maintenance system? That is where an API and a Data Connector start to matter. Who will install thirty devices, who will fix the one that stops reporting, and is that person on the payroll or on the phone? How long will you keep the platform? Month-to-month terms are worth less to a fleet with no plan to leave. Do you want to choose your own cameras and sensors, or take the vendor's? A fleet that answers 'no' to the first four is a fair fit for GPS Trackit; one that answers 'yes' to any of them should ask High Point GPS for a quote and a site visit.
