Detecting a GPS tracker on your vehicle is possible with some effort and tools. GPS trackers are small devices that send location data to an external system. While these devices are often used for legitimate purposes like fleet management or theft prevention, some may be placed without consent. To detect a GPS tracker, start by visually inspecting the vehicle. Common hiding spots include under the dashboard, beneath seats, or inside the glove compartment. External trackers might be attached underneath the vehicle, near the bumper, or on the wheel well, often with magnets. Carefully check these areas for unusual devices.
If a visual inspection doesn’t reveal anything, you can use an electronic scanner or GPS detector. These devices identify radio frequencies or signals emitted by trackers. Move the scanner around the vehicle to locate potential sources. For businesses, GPS tracking is an essential device for legitimate and beneficial purposes.
