I'd be very interested to gain a better understanding of the precise processes by which this could be achieved. gidimille, do you think you could elaborate for the benefit of the rest of us? Just exactly how might this work? No-one, after all, wants 3 points and a £60 fine and I'm sure we'd all be keen to avoid that possibility. I'm just struggling to make a link between registering stolen GPS details and being targeted by the police. Please advise. Look forward to hearing from you.


i read somewhere that new mobiles are being fitted with gps chips that
work, even when the phone is switched off, whats to say the our gps systems carnt be fixed with the same ? mobile repeaters can already be used as a form of radar, they can tell movments in an area, if the person has there phone , or gps system, with there details on a database, then they can be tracked. we r moving into rearly scary times !!
belive me, if you can think of it, they have already!!

actuly the devise is registerd after, meaning they do not have your
details!! unless they pass on your details when you pay for you system in the 1st place Laughing Out Loud

still, ya carnt beat taking it out of the car , when ya aint in it!!

I think some people here are losing the plot. A GPS receiver is just that.... a receiver....not a transmitter. That's like saying the Police can track you because you listen to Radio 1. They can't of course because like your Tom Tom, it does not send out signals. Big brother is not as sophisticated as the scare mongers will have us believe. Trust me, I'm a Police Officer Exclamation Exclamation

so what does that mean?
how do you think trackers work?
my brother works for one of the biggest aerial and satelite companys in the country, he has every cert that the CAI have to offer.as well as cityand guilds certs, and others.
he does uplink and down links at all the big shows in the country!!
the chip can be put in the system no problems just like a mobile phone sim card!!

the new tags that will be put on clothes, so they carnt be stolen, are so small that they can be enhailed.
and they have already been made
belive me the techno's there
belive what u like , thats your opinion , as mine is mine!!

Not 100% sure on my ground with this, but I BELIEVE that transmitters are used to find missing people through their mobile phones in the USA and Germany (others?). These transmitters form part of the manufacture of mobile phones in those countries.

Does anyone have further information on this?

There was a very large presence of tracking companies at CeBIT this year by the way.

Tracker systems have tranmitters. Mobile phones are transmitters and receivers. Ever since mobiles changed from analogue to digital, it has been possible to track a mobile phone. However it can only be tracked when is use (at the moment). Police can, in certain circumstances obtain information from telecommunication companies to ascertain where a mobile phone was last used. It will only give a rough geographical area though, dependant on the spread of telephone masts. The more masts, the more precise a location can be obtained. This is generally used by Police to trace missing persons (perhaps those who are suicidal).

GPS receivers are still just receivers. Technically yes big brother could infiltrate all GPS suppliers and plant transmitters in all of our Tom Toms, but then Hospital staff could implant tiny microchips under our skin at birth. You can believe anything but there's no point get paranoid about it.

Global Positioning System satellites transmit signals to equipment on the ground. GPS receivers passively receive satellite signals; they do not transmit. GPS receivers require an unobstructed view of the sky, so they are used only outdoors and they often do not perform well within forested areas or near tall buildings.

So, unless all the makers are conspiring with the government and installing a transmitter, it's probably a safe bet that you are not being tracked.

What I would be worried about this….

A single RFID reader can identify dozens of vehicles fitted with e-plates moving at any speed at a distance of about 100 yards. The e-plate looks just like a standard plate, but it contains an embedded chip that cannot be seen or removed. It is self-powered with a battery life of up to 10 years.

"Police will be able to track your every move when you drive," said Liz McIntyre, an RFID expert and author of the forthcoming book, "Spychips: How Major Corporations and the Government Plan to Track Your Every Move With RFID"

As said before, the database will be for stolen GPS equipment, plus if it's stolen how are the police going to track you?

Uh, by coupling a GPS receiver with a transmitter (eg, GSM).

A standard GPS receiver doesn't contain a transmitter so it doesn't allow the user to be tracked. You can take your tinfoil hat off now.

Uh, I have a waypoint called "Home" on my Garmin. I think CoPillot and TomTom systems also have a function to set up a home location and menu option to navigate to it. Wink

OK, well maybe in a few years when you reach 14 years old then you will be building your own radio transmitters too and then you will understand how they differ from receivers. Wink

In the meantime, just stick to the tinfoil hat and hope that your mum don't notice all the baking foil going missing from the cupboard. Laughing
