The fist-sized Garmin eLog offers ELD compliant logs, which can be locally accessed via USB and Bluetooth for roadside inspections. Those savings – and Garmin's high rating across all other research categories – make it our top pick. Once drivers have mastered it, the Garmin eLog can save a business thousands of dollars a month. It does the job, even offering fuel tracking. However, the complete lack of ongoing costs is rare among ELD providers, and makes Garmin stand out as the best long-term ELD investments. Garmin eLog can come with a big learning curve, both for setup and daily use. They can serve small and large fleets equally well, making them useful no matter what business you run. These ELD devices stand above the rest on this list thanks to their feature sets and price range.

Samsara– A easy-to-use interface and simple service with unbeatable upgrade options.

Motive ELD (formerly KeepTruckin) – Strong all-around features and fairly attractive pricing, if not the best.

Garmin eLog – With features such as fuel-tracking, the eLog can quickly recoup its pricey initial cost.

So is affordable pricing, particularly now that pandemic costs have stabilized and the premium prices of 2021 have dropped. Fuel-tracking, for example, can make a big difference to your bottom line.īusinesses have also voiced their frustrations to us regarding over-complicated ELD devices – when you're managing a whole fleet of vehicles, keeping things as simple as possible is key. That is all.Our researchers examined all the leading ELD devices on the market, rating them in various categories including integrations, pricing, support options, and multiple types of features. Listen Garmin - we need an affordable, GNSS device with 1-2 m accuracy that simply collects points or paths, has a decent screen and takes topo chips. They have been left behind by the BYOD (Bring your own device) GPS companies and in my opinion have only one way of staying relevant - become one of the few iOS compatible survey grade GPS companies. Garmin missed the big boat by becoming, like Trimble, too specialized for their own good. It has some useless frills (I know when to fish and hunt, but thanks anyway) but still fundamentally tells me where I am, interacts with mapping programs, and doesn't have all junk (really, I didn't buy this thing to plot a cross-country mountain bike trip) the added to subsequent models. The battery contacts don.t last vey long, the power button won't either, but they work great when they are in good shape.

This is the last GPS model Garmin made that was useful for me.
