The tracking device cannot be a hand held unit. Its use is intended
for  kidnaping cases where victims are searched. It must be either
very small or placed in clothes.

Question is similar to one posted oct 26 but it is a NEW independant
search since information obtained was incomplete.

nextel has a cheap gps tracking system that is new. all you need is a
nextel account. I belive the gps is only 35 bucks a month

Radio Shack markets a GPS tracking device through their stores, The
Roadside Companion Mobile Safety/Roadside Assistance GPS, $249.99
Retail, partnered with www.roadsideassistance.com you can track a
vehicle, or an individual in many areas of the U.S.  There are some
geographic restrictions. There is also a monthly fee of around $35.00.
