Geotab retroactively corrects historical odometer readings based on the most recently
entered value (whether manually entered, or automatically recorded). This most recent
value is always assumed to be correct and overrides all previous entries or corrections.
Incorrectly entered information can result in inaccurate reports:
●
Incorrectly copying or entering an odometer value might produce negative historical
trip values
●
When a GO Device firmware update introduces automated odometer tracking for a
vehicle whose odometer values were previously manually entered, but incorrect, it
could produce a “jump” in the value
●
If a GO Device is moved from one vehicle to another, but the old vehicle was not
marked as “historic”, then odometer readings for multiple vehicles are combined. This
could result in sudden “jumps” or past negative trips.
●
Recommendations:
●
Double check your manual odometer readings and entry
●
When permanently transferring your Geotab Go Device to a new vehicle, set the
previous vehicle to “historic”, to preserve your location data and create a new vehicle.
