the Schedule 13D dated January 7, 1994 (the "Original 
Schedule 13D"), Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D 
dated February 25, 1994 ("Amendment No. 1") and Amendment 
No. 2 to the Original Schedule 13D dated April 27, 1995 
("Amendment No. 2") and Amendment No. 3 to the Original Schedule
13D dated June 5, 1995 ("Amendment No. 3")(the documents
collectively are referred to herein as the "Schedule 13D"). 
 
Item 1.  Security and Issuer. 
 
    The Schedule 13D relates to Vanguard's beneficial 
ownership of common stock, $.01 par value, ("Common Stock")   
of Geotek Communications, Inc. (formerly Geotek Industries, 
Inc.), 20 Craig Road, Montvale, N.J. 07645 ("Issuer"). 
 
Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction. 
 
    As indicated in the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 
1, Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, Vanguard has acquired
securities in the Issuer for investment purposes.  Vanguard has no
current intent to acquire control of the Issuer. 
 
    The purpose of this Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D 
is to report the closing on September 1, 1995 of Vanguard's 
agreement to purchase Series L Cumulative Convertible 
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer 
("Preferred Stock") pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement 
by and among the Issuer, Vanguard and Toronto Dominion 
Investments, Inc.("TDI") (the "Preferred Stock Purchase 
Agreement").  The Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement has been filed
as Exhibit 10 to this Schedule 13D and is described in Item 4 of
Amendment No. 3.  Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Purchase
Agreement, Vanguard agreed on May 25, 1995 (the "Closing Date") to
purchase a total of 531,463 shares of Preferred Stock of the
Isssuer for a purchase price of $5,000,003.90.  Pursuant to the

         (a)   Vanguard currently owns 2,800,000 shares of Common 
               Stock, 531,463 shares of Preferred Stock
               convertible  into Common Stock and the right to
               presently acquire 5,285,500 shares of Common Stock
               pursuant to options granted by the Issuer.  Based
