Would this work to put in grandpas car in order for me to locate him if he gets lost?

you would have to put his exact location on the GPS Bushnell. I don't think it was work for you.

Doubt that would work since it needs access to the satellites. However there are devices meant for that purpose; most people use them on their kids in order to locate them. They're called GPS Trackers; just Google it.

This is a back-tracking unit yhat is used to set way points. It is not designed to locate from a remote location. It is meant to help you get back to a position you set that you were at previously.

If it was in his car and he set it from when he left his house he coukd find his way back to start but I'd look for a gps tracker or a transponder to hunt him down from your end

This will not work for you in that manner. The unit is designed to assist the person wearing it to be able to return to a previously saved GPS way point. You cannot use this unit to "track" someone who is in possession of it. In order to be able to track your grandfathers exact location you would need to provide him with a GPS unit that constantly transmits a location signal. This unit does not do that. You may want to look into some of the cellular phones on the market..... some of them have the tracking feature you are looking for, I have seen them advertised. There may be other such devices available for this purpose as well. Hope this helps you out. This will not work for you in that manner.

Yes, if your car has "Home Link" as its called on my cars. Your car's owner manual should have a section that tells you how to set it up.

yes you can track the device...it needs to see some sort of the sky. Trunk will not work. It is quite a sturdy case. I wouldnt throw it against the wall but it should protect from falls.

No, it wouldnt suppot that kind of draw. You need it to be in loop to the tracker but fused from the car side so if it is per say stolen and positive grounds to negative that fuse (car side) will short out and not the (gps tracker side fuse) this way it will still provide powet to the GPS tracker. The battery must be directly connected to GPS tracker but also follow the diagram so the battery will remain charged from the cars charging system.

No, just get it interfaced to your laptop, start your software (Streets & Trips and DeLorme Topo North America both work for me) and it will find you. Even inside the house it found my location. This is much better than the GPS functionality in your cell phone. Well worth the price.

Sorry for delay -I was overseas, and had to test. I used my 14K wedding ring, and the scanner could pick it up from about 1" away. I suppose it would matter where you lost it, but it will detect.

Not likely but fear not, go to http://popandlock.net/ and find your vehicle.

Nancy, I don't think that would work because the gps does not have input jacks. I hope this helps

Yes. It will be hard to find the car behind the radio. But go ahead. It will work.

It depends on the type of gps tracker, if it is a GPS data tracker that has to be retrieved later, then no. But if it transmits GPS data than yes it can pick them up (tested this and confirmed it personally)Some GPS trackers are stuck onto a vehicle and then retrieved later, if this type of tracker is being used, it cannot pick it up. Likewise, if the listening device being used is actually hardwired in with wires and either records to a storage device or sends signal through cable not transmission of a signal, then it will not find it either.A different type of device is needed all together to find those types of devices.

Would probably help for you to tell us what your purpose is? If it works it will give you the combined speed of you and the oncoming traffic. It may also set off radar detectors.

You have to be within hearing range and you can use any key you want. I would not consider it a vehicle locator.

As previous reviewer stated, yes, but it's just a basic one. If you lose key provided, a screwdriver or other small, flat instrument will suffice.

You hide this in a geocache, and it will send out a signal that can be picked up by another gps. So you don't actually have to find it, you could have It so when you get within 20-30 feet it automatically gives them new coordinates. It would work really well in a multi cache.

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!!

Should be acceptable out of the pocket when there are heavy terestrial signals, it should work. Mostly it's not well indoors.And you need a car kit (includes the dock) of this product.

It will with no problem. I put an older GPS unit in one for my mother when she came to visit (so she could find her way around) and had no issues with it.
