Alot of the newer GPS units have cellphones in them with Vodafone Yearly Sim cards u can use the simcard atleast one a year to keep the phone number and thats usually a test function they do on the unit each year to make sure u recieve the sms. What it does is you can sms to the gps unit for it to go into an alert mode where it will send you a GPS co-ord of where the car is right now once the unit is turned off its still in alert mode where it sms you the last known co-ord. It is available on afew units down here in australia i don't use one myself i have a carpc and have hooked up a sms unit so i can disable the cars ignition by a relay and get the GPS co-ord of where it is exactly and can call the cops in that area. |

I'm guessing that by newer "GPS units" you mean "GPS navigation systems" (that are built in to a car) |
| ChadTower:
IIRC some of the aftermarket GPS navigation systems can be contacted in the same way. They can't disable the ignition, of course, but they do have a bit of query/response ability. |

There are some GPS tracking systems for Fleet and BHPH (buy here pay here) companies that will allow you to track in real time and allow you to disable the ignition of the vehicle. You can also set boundaries and if they go out of the boundary you will be alerted by text or email. You can also have it alert you if they drive over a certain speed limit. |

On the other hand, the GPS discussed here is a Magellan Roadmate 360 |
