I'm not sure if this is the type of GPS you were asking about, but I added a GPS tracking system to my Prowler.
It's like "OnStar" which I could not get and LoJack1 is not
in Oregon. It cost around $1,000. It calls my cell phone if anybody tries to break in. It has other features also.

What is the difference from ONSTAR?

Is there a monthly fee or times used till you are charged?

Thanks

I have the Megellan Roadmate 500. Costs about $900 at Costco. Information is here: http://www.magellangps.com/en/products/roadmate.asp

A great forum is here:

I think it is a great unit and I recommend it. I bought an additional 256K CF card.
