Using a small GPS unit somehow connected to a modified GSM phone that will send the position of the car to the tracking agent when it recieves a SMS request to do so. This would be to retrieve stolen cars (a huge problem in Africa)

Yeah, I'm getting tired of all the abuse that I have to take from SMS linked GPS receivers in Africa. Oh wait, nevermind. |

Many cell phone manufacturers are planning to release phones with built-in gps. It is part of a plan to aid 911 calls made from cell phones. |

There are 3 problems with the Tracker / Lojack system. |
|
| |
1. It needs a expensive network of base towers and repeaters.
2. It needs a special tracking unit installed in every Police unit that needs to do tracking (most police vehicles already have GPS installed)
3. The tracking is directional and not positional - You can drive in the direction of the stolen vehicle but you never know where it is. |
