The average GPS receiver does not have a transmitter and will not allow you to track your truck or car so you will need a real GPS tracking device.

Some vehicle have OnStar which can find the location of your vehicle and some use car dealers may install tracking device to keep track of their property till it it paid off.

It really depends on what type of tracking device you have purchased. Some GPS tracking device only record where the vehicle has been and you have to remove the tracking device to retrieve the route information. There are other GPS tracking device that uses GPRS and you can track it almost real time on the Internet, about every 2 minutes or so.
There are also GPS devices that uses both GPRS and WiFi like the DASH navigation system.

There are device like TomTom that you can sign up with TomTom Plus service and track your friends that have TomTom Devices.

120 hours of battery life for continuous reliable GPS tracking
Pinpoint an actual address online in Google Maps or Google Earth
This GPS data logger captures location, speed, time with built-in motion detection features starts GPS tracking when motion is detected to conserve battery life
Small size (1.5"x 1.5") makes it ideal for carrying it around or hiding it in a car, bag, etc.
Simple, Cost-Saving and Comprehensive: The iTrail GPS Data Logger has no monthly subscription fees

Get one that has a car charger with it... I think all of them have the same amount of battery life and you get what you pay for... so get a higher priced unit and it should come with all the gadgets needed to make sure you dont get stranded in the middle of no where. Good luck!!

Real time tracking, as fast as every seven seconds with customized setting
Geo fencing alerts (when unit enters or leaves designated area)
As with any real time GPS tracker, monthly service fees are applicable. Plans range from $10.00 to $25.00 monthly, without any service agreement.
Geo-elapsed time alert (when unit stays in particular location longer than allocated time)
Bing and Google maps with option of "birds eye" view

I am looking for a GPS device for my car, but there are so many to choose from. I am looking to spend $300-$500. What features should I look for? Which device do you recommend?

I really like Garmin gps systems. You can update them with your computer and they also say the names of the streets instead of saying turn right in 500 feet. It has worked well for me in Boston and believe me with the big dig streets change all the time.

I'm getting a bit of unwanted attention. A few incidents have made me suspect that someone has fitted a GPS device on my car. Where would it be fitted?

If your car is locked then someone looking to that would only have access to the outside of the car. They would only be able to get something under your car or under the bumpers. You should try to get a look under your car. Get a piece of carboard (so you don't get your clothes dirty) and lay it on the pavement and have a look under your car. Try to look for anything out of place, something that looks taped onto the car or maybe stuck with magnets. If you don't know what to look for, maybe have a friend look under the car for you.

If someone can open your car, then they can place 1 under your dash, under a seat, or maybe take the back seat off and place it inside the seat and then put it back, or in your trunk under the lining.

It is possible for someone to do this. It may seem a little paranoid of you, but it's worth checking into if you have this kind of weird feeling.
