Learn to spot GPS tracking.
GPS tracking is a tool that has made getting from point A to point B much easier. However, it can be an inconvenience if you suspect that your parents or your boss are tracking your whereabouts. If this is the case and you don't want them to know where you are, learn spot GPS tracking.
Instructions
1. Do a physical inspection of your vehicle. Begin by feeling around under the seats of your car and underneath the body. Also check the front and rear bumpers and under the hood. You are looking for a small box about the size of a deck of cards. It's likely that the device will be magnetized.
2. Check your hand bag or back pack for items that don't belong to you. Some GPS devices that can fit in the palm of your hand and be disguised as other items. Dump the contents of your bag and make sure that there is nothing new that doesn't belong to you. These GPS devices are usually small and box-like and are slightly bigger than a box of matches but can be hidden in other items.
3. Get a GPS sniffing device. These tools pick up on the GPS signal as it transmits and alerts you to its presence by emitting a beeping sound. You can find them online at spy and gadget stores as well as at eBay and Amazon. As of 2010, the devices cost between $75 and $500, depending on your needs.
4. Switch the device on and move it up and down the length of your vehicle. If you have a tracking device, it will begin beeping quickly and it will light up. Do several scans of your car because some GPS devices emit signals intermittently. Also do a scan of your personal items, including your cell phone. If it is emitting a signal when you aren't making a phone call, it may be bugged.
