My GPS was just stolen. Is there a way to disable it/track it? A gun was stolen at the same time and I would like to try to get it out of the hands of criminals, possibly at the same time.

Car GPS units are receivers only. They do not have a transmitter that can be used for tracking. I am sorry that it was stolen. Report it to Garmin and the police. Also, post it at the following link so people can be made aware of it:
Unfortunately there is no means of tracking the stolen GPS. If you have a record of the serial number, you could report it to the police. The GPS may show up at a local pawn shop and if the police have the serial number on file, they could possibly recover it for you.
Unfortunately no! the GPS system acts as a receiver to pickup satellite signals so you can triangulate your position, in order to track your property it would require a transmitter that is unique to the system.
No, the unit can not be tracked by radio signals as its a receive only device, however I would contact garmin and let them know (in addition to your local police dept.) that it has been stolen. If you buy a new GPS there are measures you can take to prevent theft & help recover a stolen GPS. Please see this link:
Unfortunately there is no way at the current time to track a phone. People are always coming in trying to track them. The best way would be filing a police report. For future use though, downloading a program like family map or some kind of gps where you can view the lines on your account would be a good feature to have to be able to track it.
Hi,
If your meaning can you track the GPS, no you cannot track a GPS unless it has a tracker fitted, you cannot trace it if it has been stolen,
Ironically, they work in the opposite way to a tracker, it is a locater, not a tracker
Regards.
Hi there. Phone your service provider, tell them its been stolen, if its being used they will send a text to that phone which will disable it from being able to be used. As for tracking it has to have GPS installed in the original software.
