Comments on: GPS Tracking — Does It Really Work? http://satviz.com/gps-business/gps-tracking-does-it-really-work/ GPS Tracking for a Better Bottom Line Thu, 24 Jun 2010 22:09:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: dave http://satviz.com/gps-business/gps-tracking-does-it-really-work/comment-page-1/#comment-1220 dave Tue, 29 Dec 2009 09:57:49 +0000 http://satviz.com/gps-business/gps-tracking-does-it-really-work/#comment-1220 Sharon, I can't offer much help here. You should know if your cell phone sends out GPS data or if you ever were in any sort of service that reported your position. You should check with your cell phone dealer/provider on this .. in particular, express your concerns to their security department ... they would be the only authoritative source to tell you if your phone can or can't be tracked. Asking people on the web like this will get you a lot of conjecture and often downright false information. Having a GPS himself shouldn't be any advantage to your ex in stalking you, GPS receivers are independent of other GPS receivers. But as far as the possibility of him having put one on your car? That certainly is well within reason. Suitable trackers today are very cheap and they are all different shapes and sizes, some especially made to be "clandestine" ... and I never dealt with that area of the business ... in fact I used to refuse clients who wanted clandestine systems, just because I don't want to get anywhere near the law enforcement/private detective realm of things. Does this ex only show up when you have been driving your own car to a location? I always try to avoid paranoia, because this <strong>could</strong><em> be nothing more than coincidence, but my personal advice is, a. If you are a minor, go immediately to your parents and talk with them as you have here. b. Visit you local police department and express your concerns. (the more documentation you cna give them as to dates, times and places, the more likely they are to take you seriously.) Stalking has certainly been a precursor to many tragedies, and if he actually is stalking you, it's typically illegal in many ways and needs to be stopped ... you have your own safety to consider and it's better by far to raise a concern now and perhaps have it turn out be nothing later than to hesitate because you "aren't sure" and then recieve your 'assurance" by being placed in a dangerous situation. That's my two cents worth ... Sharon,
