MyGeotab Map Add-In no longer loading

Hi everyone, we're seeing a new issue with a long-running MyGeotab add-in and wanted to check whether others are seeing the same pattern.

 

We have a custom add-in package with standard pages plus Map/Trips add-ins. Standard pages still load, but Map/Trips add-ins fail to install at runtime. Previously this occurred for accounts with Geotab camera devices but now it seems to affect any account.

 

At a high level, it looks like this started after camera add-in behavior changed in our environment.

 

What we're seeing

  • Standard custom add-in pages work
  • Map/Trips add-ins fail with:
    • “Add-in can't be installed”
    • “Can't be loaded”
  • This is reproducible in affected accounts

 

What we tested

  • Hard refresh / cache reset
  • Added bootstrap and handshake logging in map iframe entry pages
  • Confirmed map iframe boot logs appear
  • Added asset health checks; assets are reachable (HTTP 200)
  • Added additional safe bootstrap delegation + late-binding handler logic

 

New technical detail we found

We're also seeing runtime logs from a separate camera add-in bundle (not our code), including:

  • RegisteredName: "mygeotab-camera-addin"
  • CAMERA ADD-IN JURISDICTION: EU/US
  • feature-flag logic around jurisdiction mismatch handling

 

So while we can't prove causation yet, this suggests a coexistence/platform-level interaction may be affecting map add-in install/hello flow for other custom add-ins.

 

Why we're posting

We'd like to confirm whether there were any recent platform changes affecting Map Add-In install/handshake behavior when camera add-ins are present.

If anyone from Geotab or other partners has guidance, we'd appreciate:

  1. Any known changes to Map Add-In install/hello flow
  2. Known coexistence constraints with mygeotab-camera-addin
  3. Recommended compatibility pattern for custom map add-ins in mixed add-in environments

Thanks in advance.

Hey @MobileObie-1715​  Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this the dev team believes its an issue with the add-in vs. the panel and would require more information. Ideally an engineering support case is required to allow us to reproduce the issue and determine the root cause that might need resolution. With that said I suggest opening a ticket however you normally would for us to look into this further. I can also make a ticket if you would like.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions
