Buy a cheap andriod phone and install the "where's my droid" app, and leave it on charge all the time in the car Wink

But then you need Internet + texts and everything on the phone?

Would be good if its hidden in the dash or something though.

You only need a phone with GPS, just get a pay as you go and stick a tenner on it.

Google latitude is a great app, i use it quite alot, when going to meet people so they can see where i am for a guide to ETA.

You will struggle to find a free GPS device as the company's make their money from the monthly charges.

We use Quartix in all our company vehicles. You buy the unit and then thats it. No monthly fees. You use a website to track the vehicle. We use it for where the drivers go, how fast they are driving, braking and acceleration behaviour, distances, times etc. Maybe thats a bit more than you need? They are fitted inside the dash so no one can see them or fiddle with them either.
Have a look at them.

There's cheap tracking systems where you can put a sim card in and have the tracking system text you it's location when you send a code to it.

Don't know how good they are but might be worth a look

Ihave one in my206 it has its own backup power supply as well as a feed from the car..not to sure what itscalled though

But as lee said get an android phone and use that cheap and cheerful and its easy to hide...Google latitude is an excellent app too.
