Default GPS Tracking?

Does anyone here use GPS tracking to on their car? I don't have a alarm and need to get something. I hear of a lot of people using them and getting their cars back within the hour, some need sim cards and need to be on a cellular network and are tracked with GPS, some are just tracked with GPS.

Thinking of:

Drone Mobile

GPS Snitch/Entourage

GoTek7

Anyone have one of these? Or can suggest another? Thanks.

How would that help? The device needs to communicate its location to you otherwise tracking is fairly pointless.

They all seem to communicate with cell phones letting you know instantly when your car is moved + apps on your smart phone showing exact location of your car on Google maps, I'm just doing my research now before I buy and was wondering if anyone here has one of the devices I mentioned, other local people I've asked don't seem to want to give any info. Understandable.

A while back, I met a fellow S2k-er at a meet and he was using GPS products from the following company:

You may want to see what they have to offer. Good luck.

I never had GPS. A member on S2KCA has modules in his hard top and seats. He also has an alarm. I do have an alarm and seal locks. My car is always garaged and on the rare occasion that I leave it somewhere unattended for a period of time (at work, as an example), it is stashed in the back where the general public cannot see it. i do worry about taking it to a mall, as an example, and going shopping. that's probably why the car has only 4,500 miles. Anyway, I don't like malls so I don't even take my Ody there.
