can I put it my son's car and synch to my phone - and use it to track his whereabouts and driving?

It doesn't work without having the phone it is synchronized with in the car with you as you drive. The phone provides the data connection and the GPS tracking.

Michelle, you ask a good question, here. Personally, I have used Google Maps on it (there are all kinds of Google applications available, since it's an Android device), but don't see how you can use GPS in another way (like in the car). I don't know if this kind of app is even possible on a tablet in a moving car. Hope I gave you food for thought, at least, but I have no definite answer for you. By the way, I love this device. The only drawbacks I have with it are a relatively short battery life and longer recharge time than an iPad (which I have owned before). But remember, this little beauty is less than $150, while iPads, like Apple products in general, are outrageously more expensive :) Michelle, you ask a good question, here.

Yes. Have not tried using that feature much. The Nuvi was for my husband's car.

I'm sure you can. but his cam is not wireless. so the real question would be what are you running the cam to. if your source unit or device supports the use of android or smart phone apps then yes. other wise no! this cam was made be used for vehicles with camrea systems such as rear view and back up assistance etc. the user applications are only limited to your ability, meaning if you have the ability to make it work however you see fit than so be it if not then pay someone who knows how to do it

Yes, you can if you are in the area covered by GPS. I used it for boat ride and set it to display speed and distance.

Hi Robbin, it can be added to your current phone plan which is normally in the form of an add-a-line for $9.99. You can get a prepaid or month to month SIM card if you prefer that. It sends the info straight to your phone in the form of a text message with speed, time, and coordinates that on a smartphone redirects straight to your online map. Its an awesome gadget for tracking anything that moves! Take a look at our BayTracker 2000 model as well....same attributes but longer battery time and stronger magnetic mount. Thank you!

Yes, but they have to be in your car with the device, or put the device in the other car.

No however you do not get real time tracking, the unit has to be placed in or on the vehicle and then removed and information downloaded post journey.It seems the most reasonable item out there for the money, i.e. once you have paid for it that's it. It does burn through batteries and if the batteries fail half way through a trip then you seem to lose the rest of the data. It works for us doing random vehicle tracking on day journeys, it may not work if used for a several day road trip.

First, please note that even though he is your son, that is still legal. Second, this device detects those devices only. Third, for cell phone taping our computer taping, webwatcher.com is the best. For stand alone listening devices, look further. There are many out there.

There is a feature called 'Tracker' that will report your position to others so they can follow you, or you follow them. It is used in conjunction with a Blue Tooth Smart Phone that has the App installed. I've never used it as I don't own a Blue Tooth Phone. So, I know nothing beyond what I read and reported here. You can possibly 'Google' more info online. That's where my owners manual exists. Sorry if doesn't help.

The rest have basically answered your question, it worked ok on my phone until I left the house which was the point of it. It could be my phone carrier but do you want to chance that with your car? I never really used its since I couldn't connect once I left the house.

It would be necessary to push the button to call for help. The most use we have found from the device is giving a very, very general indication of where our child has been (not even within actual blocks but much further from actual locations and without being informed in a timely manner). This could not be useful at the moment of kidnapping, might provide very general travel path information after the fact. The battery on the device doesn't hold up either. When our contract runs out, we will be switching to a smart phone with an app for tracking the phone.

You should be able to use it anywhere. It will give you a track and will tell you your speed, altitude and other things. It has no base map though, which you maybe don't need.

NO! Any tracking would be totally inaccurate. It would only respond to motion of your legs and arms. If you're coasting, the mileage indicator would not record it. You'll need an odometer for that. jcp

I do not believe it can. I believe it is only compatible with the web-based tracking system.

Yes because you need to enter the code that is in the device. This is the way you track the device.

You can't, ypu have to down load the information to your computer to see where is has been, that means, you have to take it out of the car, then to your computer!!
