GPS Log Book closed on 31 August 2026. If you relied on it for automatic trip logs, FBT records or road user charge refunds, you’ll need somewhere else to keep your mileage straight, without a gap in your records.
Fleet Track’s Driver Journalling does the same job automatically, in a modern Kiwi app. It’s part of a full fleet platform, so you get a lot more than a logbook.

- Business and private trips separated for IRD FBT
- Tax-ready mileage reports for expense claims and logbooks
