GPS

Global Positioning Systems

Do you feel like your abuser is showing up where you are for no reason??

Does your abuser seem to know every place you have been??

Your abuser may be tracking your every move. Global Position Systems (GPS) can be placed on your car and the newer cell phones have GPS built in them.

If you suspect that your abuser has installed a GPS tracking system on your car take your car to the police or a mechanic to have your car inspected. If a GPS system is found have the mechanic document where it was found and give the device to the police. The device is usually located in one of four places on your car.

Under the Hood

Under Front Bumper

Under Back Bumper

Underneath the seat and/or dashboard

If your vehicle is equipped with On-Star then your vehicle has a GPS system installed on it. Be sure to contact On-Star and let them know your situation and to not give out any information to any one regarding your vehicle. This would also be important to let them know that you are the only person allowed to call and have your doors unlocked.

Check with the cell phone service provider to see if your phone has a GPS system. This is a great security device. But, if your abuser gave you the cell phone or it is a cell phone you had during your relationship - get a new phone with a new number.
