Station Location Data Error Flag

About

Published
Last Updated

Fuel card providers can sometimes have inaccurate GPS coordinates on file for their station locations. Previously, MyGeotab had no way to distinguish a bad station-location data point from a genuinely suspicious transaction, so both were flagged the same way as a "location mismatch" — creating noise for fleet managers and driving unnecessary support cases across more than 2,000 databases and 450,000+ subscriptions.

Why it matters
  • A new Station Location Data Error warning pill now appears on fuel transactions where the station's GPS coordinates are a known data quality issue, clearly separating them from genuine anomalies.
  • Geotab has curated a list of stations with known bad GPS coordinates by cross-referencing telematics data with fuel card transaction records; the Data & Analytics team refreshes it periodically.
  • With inaccurate station data separated out, the "Location Mismatch" flag now carries more weight — fleet managers can trust that a flagged transaction genuinely warrants attention.
Availability

Available now in MyGeotab as of August 2026. Applied automatically, with no configuration or action required from administrators or end users.
