I have a tracker fitted to my 5th wheel but its crap as it does not have notification with it. i.e you have to know its gone before they will tell you where it is. So I have been looking at this place. http://www.back2you.com/wired-gps-vehicle-boat-tracker.html The 200 quid outright purchase one seems a good buy. or the one I have posted the link for .

Some trackers can be jammed, it costs only a couple of quid for a GPS jammer, illegal but that's not going to stop 'em. Or just put the vehicle in a steel box like a shipping container , better than nowt though. .

I'm not sure if they use GPS, the mobile network, LORAN or a combination of all 3, probably depends which vendor and how much you pay. There was a fault on I think it was the remote key fob for an old Lexus that accidentally jammed GPS when you used it.

Trackers can be jammed but then a thief needs to know there's a tracker and that their jammer is going to block it - as you say it's better than nothing.

I think most trackers work out their location with GPS and then transmit it via the mobile network.
