Not really sure why a separated device needs to be installed. Unless you are only trying to charge for miles done in Oregon...
I was about to post the same, as to why a device to monitor where people were driving was relevant.
After reading the article I assume is has to do with the fact that they want to tax people for the miles driven on public roads, as opposed to private. Now, I have no idea how significant the amount of private roads are, so I think that a compromise on this one would certainly be just ditching the tracker and going with a straight odometer reading.
Edit: Oh yeah, miles driven just in Oregon makes sense too.
