Yes! Use the 9-digit serial number on the back of your Garmin tablet (starts with 587xxxxxx) or IMEI to locate and manage it in MyAdmin, the same way you would locate and manage your GO device.
No data limit is imposed. However, the tablet is locked down using a Mobile Device Management (MDM) application. For Pro mode, in which third party applications are allowed, Geotab assumes a reasonable monthly data consumption of 1 GB.
If data consumption is consistently abused past acceptable usage levels, Geotab reserves the right to suspend connectivity to such devices.

This feature is only available on Pro Mode.
In order to stay compliant, FMCSA allows carriers to mount a GPS on the windshield within the areas allowed for “vehicle safety technology” devices.
GPS devices should be mounted no more than four inches below the upper edge of the area swept by windshield wipers and no more than 7 inches above the lower edge swept by windshield wipers would not obstruct the drivers’ view of the road.
